When I visited the Taipei Cycle Show earlier this year, the Flamingos were on display under the name of "Providence". I checked it out but didn't inspect it too closely as I didn't think it would be a contender on my list.
Just out of curiosity, I did a quick search online for the Flamingo. They are selling for 24,120nt(~$820) online. It is interesting to note this is less than half the price of similar spec'd Bromptons sold in Taiwan. It is also slightly cheaper than my Tern Verge Duo lol.

Perhaps it's worth considering for my next folder...
It probably is if you need s small compact folder. That doesn't stop the company being an untrustworthy business partner who give good Taiwanese companies a bad name. Why not take a look at a reputable company like Pacific or Ori bike?
