Thanks for the warm welcome guys!

Paul - LOL! My daughter, who's 6 going on 7 wants a folding bike now too. Please let me know if you get anything that would fit her. I've looked at the Downtube mini's but I don't think they make them anymore. There was one other... the Flamingo... I can't remember the name but there was a youtube video with a little kid that was my daughters age riding it. I did an online search for them a couple weeks ago but couldn't find a dealer for them. The bike shop guy just called and told me my bike is ready to pick up and the disc breaks calibrated just fine btw.

Still Pedaling - The worst scuffs were just around the protruding bits that the box didn't protect. If you look at the big photo of the box picture you can see holes in the box. I'm not too torn up about the scratches. I know you worked closely with a local bike shop to get your Brompton but did you get to see what the packaging was like?
