Good luck.
You are right man. Anyways a Brompton will be my only vehicle since I sold my car and already have Jifo for sale. Need to buy that in order to not waste my money in other things for now. Brompton would be the third and hope last folding bike I get in less than 3 months. First I got a chinese copycat ot Humpert Strive called 3H Strive which I bought almost brand new in
£100 and sold 2 weeks later for £140. Now Jifo bought it with shipping to Chile for £500 and planning on selling it for £500-550. I'll be getting more every time. I work as a salesman so that's my nature...
As for what Interceptor said, Santiago is mainly flat even where I ride around, but 15 miles east you can find gnarly climbing hill routes on the way to Cordillera de los Andes where the ski resorts are and some other hills around. I'll be riding city mostly but what if I want to do some touring... So far I think M6L will be best option. Only drawback is weight but will have to cope with that. Even if it is weight difference between M3L and M6L was referred on Evans cycles as 188g.
Also I'm trying to decide between M or S model.
I'm exactly 6 feet tall. Will I need extended or telescopic seatpost? Which one would be better?
Thanks again.
