"Believe it or not the Brompton is not desired by everybody."

Here, here. I, for example have gone for the CarryMe. However, if I was going more Brompton size I'd prefer a Dahon Mu Uno because my taste is to simplicity - I find that more beautiful than the Brompton - more simple. I like simple. The brompton for me folds in too many places and I always admire designs than reduce this down somehow - less moving parts.
