love the little dahon but i gotta admit, i've been looking at some pretty sexy bromptons lately...tempted by the smaller folded size but not sure how i'd like the 16-in wheels after finally getting used to 20s. that, and saving up a month's rent...
NYCEWHEELS on the upper eastside has free Brompton tours on Saturdays.
You can take the tour as a test drive for Bromptons to see if you like them.
I have a 20in. wheeled folder as well as a B'ton. The ride is not very different.
They are kinda pricey. Last time I was at NYCE about a month ago, they had
a used titanium model 3 speed for sale. The sales guy said it was $1,500, but
I think I saw a tag on the seat saying $1,000. By the way I don't have any
connection with this shop, as a matter of fact I didn't like the way I was treated
the first time I was there; how dare them not offer me any discount!
