Yes you are right. Unfortunately, at the moment, my budget only limits to 1 folder. And probably my 2nd bike will be a non-folder. The closest thing that I can do is to test ride them. But most of the shops that I rang don't have the paratroopers in stock at the moment, thus this thread started.

My choice was neither of those.. Brompton , bought and sold a used one when I found a newer Used One.

We have a great range of bikes in our stores ready and waiting for you to test ride them, but if you have a specific bike you would like to try at your local store, we can order the bike in for a no obligation test ride.
A maximum of two bikes can be ordered in at any one time. Each bike requires a £50 fully refundable to order it into the store. Custom built bikes (such as special order Bromptons) require full payment in advance before they can be ordered into store.
To book a test ride please contact your local store

Only those 2? get the Birdy. (why?) someone, previously has shown pictures of the off-road stresses ,
breaking the Aluminum center fold post on those Montagues. [steel version may be better, IDK]
Bike Friday Pocket Llama, not as much a fast small fold as the Brompton,
still .. no suspension other than the seatpost, but Its OK when the pavement ends..

(I believe you get £50 back when you test ride, it's to protect them from a no-show)
