She wants it for a 5 mile commute and the Brompton is really attractive because it's 16" wheels and fold style make it a fairly small package. The small fold is not crucial but it helps because she works out of a pretty diminutive cubicle.
We are looking around $500 but would love to spend a lot less!
Keep saving and get a real Brompton. They're worth the it. Your wife's worth it.
