I also have a Dahon Classic V, please could you share some details of how have you upgraded it?
I'm very interested, it seems you made a great improvement there.

I'm guessing the OP used a 9-speed internally geared hub. If you combine that with two chainrings, you'll have 18 speeds. At this link: Flickriver: Photoset 'Taiwan Dahon Classic Bike Party' by No5 you'll see lots of interesting Dahons, if you scroll down to nearly the end there is a brown metallic Dahon with drop bars that has two chainrings in front. So it's been done before.
