How did you hear about them?

I've been following the news on them all summer...
And then I read that they made a pretty big splash at Eurobike this year.

Just thought I'd post about them here for discussion...

I'm looking forward to seeing the Verge Duo in person.

Interesting bikes -- is this company a spin-off from Dahon? Are some/all of their bikes re-branded Dahon bikes?

It seems that the majority of the upper Dahon team left to start Tern from what I've read in the news. Dahon of course isn't too happy.... lawsuits seem to be on the horizon or already going.

I for one like the thought of a new folding bike brand to stir up some competition.

They are very much being produced by ex-Dahon employees. I know one of them, and was invited to their private media bbq next week, but will not be able to attend Interbike.

You better get a ticket man... sounds to be fun this year.

I got my badge already, just can't fit in a trip to Vegas next week.

Bought me a Tern Link D8 folding bike this summer, very pleased with it. Got it from NYCwheels.com. The hinges on the Tern bike are said to be of a higher quality than a Dahon.

Interesting! I'd like to see a detailed comparison of the two.

Their Joe 2 model looks interesting if I was in the marking for a folding bike.

One of the mods received a re-purposed hinge as a gift from me last year. Perhaps he'll post a photo.
