DAHON MARINER D8 FOLDING BIKE NEARLY NEW - SILVER

This is a Dahon Mariner D8 folding bike in silver, purchased in May 2025 and used just three times. It's essentially brand new and would cost £799 if bought today. The owner picked it up for commuting but a change in employment means it's barely been ridden, so it's being sold as a nearly new bike with all the original condition intact.

The Mariner D8 is built around an aluminium frame designed to fold compact for storage and transport. At 20-inch wheels, it sits in the sweet spot for folding bikes—small enough to handle easily when folded, but large enough to maintain decent momentum when riding. The bike uses V-brake direct-pull brakes for reliable stopping power, a derailleur gear system for gear changes, and an adjustable seat so you can dial in your riding position. A rear rack is fitted as standard, making it practical for carrying bags or panniers on commutes or short trips.

Day to day, the Mariner D8 works well for urban riding and commuting. The folding mechanism means you can collapse it and take it on trains, buses, or store it in a small flat or office without taking up much space. The derailleur setup gives you multiple gears for varying terrain, and the combination of V-brakes and gripshift gear levers keeps the bike straightforward to maintain and use. It handles the stop-start nature of city cycling and mixed commuting patterns, where you might cycle part of the journey and use public transport for the rest.

The sale includes two Slime inner tubes (worth around £8 each) and a Rockbros carrier designed to fit with the pannier (value approximately £38.99), so you're getting practical extras ready to go.
