Trust me, I am not making this up. I obviously posted this and the other photos long before "Find-A Grave" used that same photo (without my permission-Pickles might be a college student, but he does practice Internet plagiarism). So in a way, thank you East Biker, I would not have Googled Cindy's name (it still upsets me even after over 30 years) & found that illegal usage or "borrowing" of my photo of her. And I will always be proud to have been her friend, no matter the price like dodging the newshounds (now called the "Paparazzi"), living in fear of strangers for almost a year and other horrible things I tried to forget until this brought it back. And this extends to the rest of my both living (you have met them already) and my lost loved ones (Cindy September, 1957- February, 1978) (My Father, August, 2005).

I will "see" all of you I hope soon perhaps here or on Foo. My Brompton has now joined the Dahons and even the sewing machines in storage. This computer might go with them too for a little rest (We'll see).
This really proves nothing. Anyway, if your absence means that you will be no longer around to bash Dahons and cost Thor part of his livelihood, then it would be for the better.

To OP, I think you won't go wrong with either. The Dahon might be better handling though because of the longer wheelbase. I think the L5 has a shorter one and that the current Bromptons have a longer wheelbase, but I am not sure.
