This Sand Red color Gust belongs to the second release batch. They were still rim-brake and had a London-type front block which the pioneer batch lacked. They are now rather rare since the new ones are all disc-brake. This one was the stand out color from that generation, though the Blue Chameleon (which I own) and the Goldit were lookers too. You can pick one up from old-new stock these days for about $140. I've thought of scooping up these last remaining rim-brake stragglers, but my wife would kill me if I filled up the storage shed with even more bike gear. 😭

How much of a difference in 'toptube' length would you say the Gust 16" frame has, when compared with the Storm frame? It should be easy to find, just hold the measuring tape level while measuring from the center of the seatpost to the center of the headtube. I have a Dahon Speed (Fnhon Storm) but no Fnhon Gust 16 to compare it with.

Gust 16" top tube is 53.5cm while Storm top tube is 58.5cm as measured on my own specimens.
