Stuff in this video:
Dahon Mariner: https://amzn.to/2wP5Qvx
GreenField Kickstand ( https://amzn.to/3rCYpEW )
Aluminum water bottle cage ( https://amzn.to/3rKd6ps )
Catseye Wireless Bicycle Computer: https://amzn.to/3IkWSJk
20 inch rear bicycle tire ( https://amzn.to/3lBSvjw )
Schwinn Comfort Seat ( https://amzn.to/3xJjb6O )

All Aluminum frame is lightweight under 30 lbs, and no rust. I still am using the original brake pads and front tire. The 20 inch rear bicycle tire ( https://amzn.to/3lBSvjw ) has been changed 2 times over the past 12 years. The headset needs tightening every 2 years or so.

Some of the first upgrades to my Dahon Mariner was a more comfortable saddle , I got a Schwinn Comfort Seat ( https://amzn.to/3xJjb6O ) as it is more of a upright seat with elastomer rubber bumper suspension and well supported and padded cushion over the original Dahon seat. The draw back is the heavier weight of the new seat.

I upgraded the kickstand to a GreenField Kickstand ( https://amzn.to/3rCYpEW ) for the bike as the longer led was more stable than the original. An aluminum water bottle cage ( https://amzn.to/3rKd6ps ) and Catseye Bike computer ( https://amzn.to/3IkWSJk ) was added next.

Overall this has been a great lightweight folding bike that has traveled with me in my car, mass transit, lunch rides, and out of the county. It has been dependable and low maintenance for years due to its design and aluminum frame.
