Thanks for the tip. How does the rear triangle handle the wider tyres?
One of the nicer things about BF compared with the Brompton is that there are all sorts of options that can be put on the order list, and of course the sky's the limit (both options and price-wise).
I haven't got the Brompton brochure in front of me, but I got the impression that except for the handlebar configuration, the overall options list was quite limited.
