Winfried thanks for posting the link. I watched it last night. What Diode100 says sums it up quite nicely. The presenter was moronic but there was enough there to keep you interested.

A few things I wonder about:

Are the forks made in house? I would assume so but they never mentioned it and they were in the pile of bits for the presenter's bike all ready brazed.

Obviously Brompton has thought of everything but it seemed odd that bikes would be shipped out to be painted and returned. That seems like a lot of travel and human power which ultimately "costs" something. We are talking about shipping 45,000 bikes in and out of that factory, that is time consuming.

I never knew how the bike was prepared for painting and that was an eye opener. Coating the inside and outside of the tubes for corrosion resistance because the frame is open to the elements unlike a non-folder is brilliant.
