Nice plcs�� Yeah I can't deny the Brompton seems better quality and a little lighter. If I were a more serious it would be worth it I'm sure. I live in OH burbs that are not bike friendly if you want to "use" it as opposed short joy rides, especially at 70yo. In any case a 100mi ride is unlikely anytime soon! In NYC I've heard Bromptons are rather common, and dirt cheap compared to a car. They would be easy to justify there , and I've no doubt easier to pack in a dedicated suitcase when traveling. N
