Buying a Dahon Curve frame from somewhere?

Hi folks.

I've screwed up the frame on my beloved Dahon Curve D8. Poking around the Dahon website, I can't find an option to buy a frame. Does anyone know where I can source one?

Try contacting your Dahon distributor. Usually companies keep some stock of frames for warranty purposes so they might have one that they could sell you.

Googling, I see no presence for Dahon in Canada. I've just emailed Thor to see if he has any frames or if he can connect me with someone who does.

It might be the same as the US. Aren't they called "Dahon North America"? I think Thor is actually the general manager for them now too. So ultimately, the best person you could have picked to contact!

The Curve D3 is available again in the US. Could get you one.

If you just need a frame, PM me and I can inquire. Likely also available.

Nice bike btw.

When I posted this, I had seen some great looking frames on Aliexpress. Even my local Craigslist had some Banian folders on it. Love my Dahon Curve though, and was able to find one.
