modifying an old DAHON ROO

This is one of the most interesting mod projects I have done this year.

There was this quite old 2009(maybe?) Dahon ROO.
I took its frame and repainted it with dark grey.
Almost all parts were actually my spare parts of other bikes. However, the wheels are newly purchased.
As a result, now you see strange combinations: carbon rims with v-brake; road shifter with DH derailleur...
Luckily, all works well!

And it is now totally different from what it was......

Like it. How do you find the schwalbe one tyres compare with the Innova? For performance I meant although I am sure you have a favourite for looks.

The Schwalbe ONE performs better than all others, so far.
