Since I was not there, I can only translate some information on the page briefly.

The meeting was held on October 31, 2008 in Dadaocheng (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dadaocheng), Taipei. There were over a hundred bromptons gathered there including new bikes, old bikes, M types, P types, S types, different colours and with different accessories. The writer conservatively estimates that there were over half of them equipped with Brooks saddles.

The eldest Brompton there was over 18 years old!

Wow very cool Amuro, I didn't realize that there were a lot of Bromptons there. Is there a NeoBike in the mix? Thanks for sharing.

Hi Ed,

Since I live in Hong Kong actually and have never been to Taiwan before, I think I can't help you in this matter.

Sorry! :(
