Whilst I would agree there are many alternatives to a Brompton I would also highlight that being steel if you use a Brompton for daily commuting in all weather they wear really well.

Where the Brompton also really scores is if you have a requirement to take it on trains, buses and or in and out of shops, pubs, coffee shops etc.

As always the best recommendation is to go and try these bikes and decide for yourself.

PS you might also want to look at a Xootr Swift though larger than a Brompton its a pretty impressive ride



Checkout the massive Swift thread on this forum.
