What did surprise me is how well my Tikit with Scorchers performed in the suspension/comfort department compared to the fully suspended Birdy.
It's gotta be the Scorchers. The Birdy's got Kojaks on the front and what-the-hell-is-it on the back, neither look particularly comfy. I'm likewise guessing that if you slapped Scorchers on the Birdy it'd be something pretty impressive ridewise. Unfortunately, the Birdy is 18". How easy is it to move to 349?

Vik, I take it that the Birdy's got lower trail than the Tikit. How low, like Brompton low?

Aaahh.

I'd like to offer so observations regarding the similarity on the wooden bridge (which btw seems like a smooth piece of pavement against my rough slatted monster wooden bridge).
pppft. I was commuting on daily this Rome:
