Yes, I would whole heartedly agree the with your implication that the frame is of high quality and made in the UK.
Though if you spend $2000 or even $1000 dollars on a bicycle it will usually have cast drop outs not stamped steel as is usually found on the lowest quality bicycles.
Never the lessThe Brompton is adorned with lower quality, expensive proprietary parts primarily NOT made in the UK.
To stay on topic here is another picture of the MIT V8.

Dude, those are the old brake levers you have pictured up above. They don't sell those anymore. And I agree, I like the new Brompton brake levers waaaay better. That was one thing Brompton needed to update
