El Cid - I don't know if Clever Cycles in Portland is who kevyen dealt with but they are first class and maybe they would handle it for you - I have purchased two Bromptons from them. Alternatively, I would be willing to act as the middle man for the price of a component (to be determined) for a new bike that I am building (not a folder). All communications can be handled in the light of day in the forum or if you prefer in private.
