About this product
This Dahon 1983 Vintage Stow Away Folding Bike is a rare 5-speed model designed for camping, travel, and city commuting. Constructed with stainless steel, it features a 16-inch wheel size, Silent 80 Super Primary (Band) brakes, and a flat bar handlebar. The blue bicycle is equipped with a trigger shifter, derailleur gears, and includes practical features like fenders, reflectors, and an adjustable seat for unisex adults.
Our take
For collectors or those seeking a truly vintage and compact ride, this 1983 Dahon Stow Away is quite unique. The 'RARE' designation and vintage status definitely set it apart, and the stainless steel frame suggests lasting durability. Its 5-speed setup and folding mechanism are practical for travel or storage. However, keep in mind the 16-inch wheel size will result in a less smooth ride over varied terrain compared to larger wheels. The 'Silent 80 Super Primary Brake (Band Brake)' is an older technology, which might not offer the stopping power of modern systems. It's a charming piece of cycling history, but one with distinct vintage characteristics.
