Just wondering how you liked the NWT, and whether the ride is as satisfactory over the long days, compared with more conventional touring bikes you might have tried.
Would also be interested to hear any comparisons between the NWTs and Bromptons, and why people seem to move from the NWTs to the Bromptons.
I loved my NWT it rode as well as my large framed bikes with very rough roads being the exception. I sold it because I needed money at the time and someone offered me what I has purchased it for. My main reason for going with the Brompton is 1) compact, fast fold and 2) It is one of the few folders that I can ride comfortably. I am 6'-2" with long arms and legs. My normal road frame is a 64cm, most folders with 16" wheels are just to short for me. I may buy another NWT too, I loved the suitcase/trailer concept and used it a fair bit. My current needs are something that will collapse quickly and as small as possible. I am not a high daily mileage rider, 60 miles is a long day for me.
