Here are pictures of my new Brompton. Took it this evening for a short ride. Was very happy with the gear range (6 gears, -12%) and the frame's stiffness. The ride is on the rough side compare to my TSR due to the smaller wheels and lack of suspension but I guess that this is the cost of super fold-ability. I may try wider tires if they fit instead of the Brompton Kevlar tires.

One problem I have is that at a slight right turn, the cable rubs the front wheel and makes noise. The dealer mentioned something about a missing part on the fork but thought that it will not matter. Apparently it does. Anybody can tell me what is the proper arrangement (a picture will be nice) so I can be more inform when talking with the dealer. I marked the location on the fork and the rubbing point with yellow circles below.

Thanks,

Kam
