Brompton
I'm thinking about buying the L type Brompton for a commute that involves a train ride. Anyone own a Brompton and have any comments on the L versus T models or the bikes in general? I'm thinking about getting the battery operated lights.

Question: why are you getting a 16' inch wheel folder?

I agree with you on the rack. Brompton actually makes an excellent front bag. I was assuming that the generator lights would be more reliable and easier, but if you are saying they are not reliable then I would definitely go with the L version. You really think battery is better?
