little or nothing is really new.
I personally wish manufacturers would produce compacts with more specialist users. ie 16 inch wheeled bikes with drops, carbon, full suspension,
brompton and mezzo make basically one type of bike.
If i can make a drop bar brommie or a dual drive mezzo why dont manufactors try harder. I have friends that would love to buy something like my bikes, but are only willing to pay standard prices for them.
birdie is a full suspension bike i know, but it has issues as an easy folder.
