sorry for the late reply.

Yes, I will look into it as I heard the d10 gearing is quite a bit better. I want to change (eventually) the tyres too, so they are puncture proof (have no idea on this yet, need to read up about it).

Also I want to try to sort out the rims where the pads are wearing. It looks like the paint has come off, so I want to try and get this either to bare metal or find new rims (eventually!).

Comparing to an Alfa is probably the closest way of describing it. To me the ride quality was the most important and the mezzo has much less twitchy handling. Also (I may be mistaken) but the brompton did not have adjustable handle bar height, whilst the mezzo did.

The reliability and wear and tare may not be as good as a brompton (just like an alfa!) but I don't know if that will affect me yet!

I will give it a good clean and service then post some pics.

Thanks for the help!
