So you've got the high-end Brompton and another little one along the way? Looking forward to the birth announcement. ;-)
Anyone want to start taking bets as to the identity of Mulleady's new high-end 20" folder?

Moulton bikes have been used in winning time trials, road races, criteriums, triathlons, and track events. They've been ridden to official finishes in the RAAM, tackled the Paris-Roubaix route, used for setting an as yet unbroken HPV record, been along for point to point time records and used for PBs in the P-B-P. (Use of Moulton bikes is no longer allowed in competitions controlled by the UCI.) Moulton-mounted tours began in Iceland in 1962, and since then, tourists have ridden laden Moultons over the Himalayan mountains, down to the Dead Sea, along the great wall of China, across the Nulibor Plain and Gobi desert, into equatorial Africa, the length of America's Great Divide off-road trail, end-to-end, transcontinental and around the world; Moulton riders have been everywhere from Patagonia to north of the Arctic Circle.
!!!Yeah, but other than these, how do we really know that Moultons are good for long distance rides?
Hmmmm????

If we're going high-end, we ought to discuss folding recumbents. Here are some I know about currently on the market:
- ICE's trikes are all folding.
- GreenSpeed's GT3 trike.
- The HP Velotechnik Grasshopper fx and Scorpion fx
- And a bit of lustful vaporware: the folding Baron Optima at Spezi 2010.
