Yeah i remember reading that bit, sounded like a def. no go! Buyer Beware!
That page was last updated in July, so i am assuming the review reflects the current quality of the Mercs...?
Since i am also a little intrigued by these bikes i wrote the Merc peeps the following:

Hey there,
A rather authorative site on folders has some words to say on your bike.. I was wondering what your response is as i am considering buying 4 or maybe 5 of your bikes but was dismayed by the review. Specifically i want to know of the problems mentioned are a thing of the past and whether you produce your bikes under license of Brompton.. Thank You.

Reads: "Text on merc Here"

Should be interesting to see if they reply and what. So i did bend the truth , i don't think i will buy 4 or 5 ha ha, but hey if they are actually pirating a rotten copy (merc as in "Mercenary...?) i can't say i feel too guilty...
Also according to the Merc site the 3 speed bike weighs 12,34 Kilo's... huh...?
