Yes it took me a week to realize this. I thought Brompfication had given me a dud, but actually I had simply installed it wrongly. If only they worded their manual in a way the layman can understand
It may not sound like a lot, but the weight savings (minimal) and more importantly, the fact that the clamp stays aligned after unfolding really makes a big difference to the predictability of the fold. Plus, the look - shiny brass handle with black contrast clamp - is fantastic IMO.
