The pedals kept scratching my leg. Learning curve for fold was frustrating. Just wasn't what I thought. Ride was twitchy and ...meh. I couldn't wait to get rid of it.

I regret selling the Rivendell Quickbeam and the Cannondale Bad Boy. I felt great about selling the Brompton. Really could not stand the S2.

I loved the M6 I rode at the dealer and simply should have bought the used M6. Dealer was selling at same price as new Black S2.

Took it in to a closer bike shop and mechanic changed the brakes position...bike would not fold. Had to drive all the way back to dealer ...


I'm just not tactile and have zero interest in tinkering.

I think the e-Brompton may be worth considering. I need to check out the pricing.

I recently purchased a used Citizen Seoul. It is worse. I can't give it away.
