Thanks and no hard feelings to you. I like Dahons and can't wait to see the Curl in person. Don't forget I'm in agreement with you that Brompton can innovate more on things like handlebars and some other options. I love it but modified it and recognise it's not the bike for everyone.
I didn't like the riser bars. See my old posting below:

PS: I didn't like the gear shifters either and changed those.
