Good read, indeed!

He captures the passion of Brompton/folder owners well.

A real education for the overseas Brompton owner who does not have much opportunity to learn more about it. Great article.

Excellent read, thanks LP! I feel for the Brooks saddle though, I bet it doesn't like being stepped on.

Very good article. But has it turned me into a thermos and tupperware Terrence or a mobile Malcolm?
