I'll take that as a compliment. :)

I do think that you are correct in that Bromptons have an effect on you. I think the longer you spend time with anything or anybody the more you realistically...

I'm just speculating and making an educated guess. If you think about a Downtube being $300 or so new, if you wanted to sell your "used" one it would have to be at an attractive enough price point to...

At that price it still represents a pretty good value. Maybe if you get shipping straightened out it could be even better. All in all it seems like a pretty nice bike at least the ones I've seen and...

I had a few Bromptons before. I started with a C type and then bought an M. I thought they would have improved some of these things. Koolstops are definitely going on there ASAP. I called around and...

Continuing adventures with my Brompton make me realize this is going to be more of a love/hate relationship than I thought. I was riding today on my way to work I heard a strange grinding sound. I...

I've used the Brompton B bag with good luck. It keeps the size small and a few times I was actually able to carry it on. If I couldn't, it still survived quite well in the cargo hold. I would...

New for Chop. Worlds most expensive folding bike!

Here it is on eBay. I can only imaging what the listing fees were since they are based upon the buy it now price! I'll take 2 at that price. It could be interesting though.

Thanks FF. Good idea. How can such an expensive pedal have such a crappy design? A Brompton if full of contradictions! Why didn't they limit the pedal travel?

I just had a chance for an extended evening ride. Darn winds didn't help with average speed for sure. I did get to spend enough time to sort out the aiming of the headlight and check its...

From what I've seen, a Merc is about 90% the quality of a Brompton at about 70% of the price. It is the way the Japanese cars got their start in the US. Now it is the Korean cars doing the same...

Keep in mind that the Merc comes with a lot of extras that would drive up the cost of a Brompton quite a bit. It has a front bag and carrier, rear rack, lights and dynamo, etc. If there was a way to...

Hi all!

I love the forums here and have been perusing the past threads trying to get a little better insight on what to buy for my SECOND bent. A little background might help put everything in...

Yes, I've shipped some rather big items overseas for a lot less. Check out their online calculator too. If you don't mind slower it can be $60 to ship 40 or 50 pounds of stuff instead of $150 or $250...
