Have I been tricked?
I made it abundantly clear that the primary purpose of purchasing any folding bicycle was the smallest Brompton-like fold. However it doesn't fit in the standard folding bike carrying case I was given. The whole look is angled up at one end. There is something like a huge (to the eye, maybe 3 1/2 inch space that I can get rid of by NOT hooking hook over the frame but letting it sit on the tire. I just looked at a photo of the MIT-V8, and unless it's clever photography the new model looks much more compact and closer to the Brompton fold.
Anyone have models and can authoritatively comment on the dimensions and fit of these two Flamingo models versus Brompton. I, for one, don't care much about features. All I care about is weight, cubic size, and linear size
