So I tried the H and M Bromptons yesterday. They were super fun to ride!

Im still trying to decide between 3g and 6g.

The gears I used the most where 3, 4 and 5. I only used gear 1 on quite a long and steep hill that's on my commute, but I feel that when I get in better shape I could do it on gear 2 or 3.

I made the following little image to help me decide about the best gear ratio for me. Yellow is 6g, red is regular 3g, orange is 3g-12% and blue is 3g-18%.



Now I'm on the fence between 3g and 3g-12%, leaning towards the regular 3g (and putting faith in my legs getting stronger in the future).

I'm also not sure wether to get the M or H type. Even though I'm not very tall, I think I enjoyed riding the H more (I like the upright position). However, the extra weight is off-puting, and M seems to have more resale value. I'd have appreciated an extra day or two of riding them, I may rent them again.

And I'm also not sure if I should get the dynamo or not. One of them had it, and it was a nice touch.

I'm quite sensitive about the weight. (I liked riding them so much, that I think I'm going to spend big bucks for ultra-light titanium extremities, and perhaps some mods like titanium seatpost too. I plan to keep this bike forever.)

Any thoughts?
