I live in NYC. My question is do they still in business? or it has changed to Ori bike? Are they compatible with each others? Who is still carry Mezzo bike and have all parts in stock? I am so excited when I bought the bike and can't wait to ride it but with all worries about the used bike and can not find anyone who still deal with Mezzo anymore. I'm glad to find out Bikeforum has a thread dedicated to Mezzo which is a good sign. Thank you guys.
I'm glad you're pleased with your Mezzo, they are indeed fantastic bikes all round, in terms of design, build quality and ride. Buying second hand makes a lot of sense as the bikes can be got for bargain prices compared to Bromptons and still look good condition due to the quality finish on them.
I'm very passionate about the Mezzo and absolutely love mine. I think they're very underrated bikes that are far better than Bromptons in so many ways, but of course the Brompton has established itself as the standard for ultra-portability now. I think the Mezzo's have not been adequately marketed by ATB Sales and the company doesn't seem very committed to marketing the bikes properly which is a shame.
Fewer and fewer sellers seem to be stocking Mezzo. I hope they don't disappear from the market, but if they do, I dare say there will be plenty of decent second hands we can pick up for a long time to come.
