I live in bay area. When I go to San Francisco, I used to ride my Titanium Ni edition 6 speed but now I just ride my 2 speed Ti Brompton. (12T/17T) The bike is about 8kg so it is easier for me to carry around the bart stations and cycling up hills in San Francisco.
BTW, I like the Brompton grips because of lightweight. However, I replaced them with Ergon Brooks grips because they caused my hand numbness.

Here is the picture of my Black Raw Laquer 2 speed. My chpt3 is on the shelf.
Just an FYI-
I posted a picture of a knife I have on a knife forum I belong to, and shortly thereafter received a fairly creepy PM from someone else on that forum that with data encrypted on that iPhone picture...he knew where I (and my knife(s)) lived.
I'm cautious, but not paranoid but that gave me pause. An unintended consequence of today's technology I never thought of.
Just saying...one Brompton is worth more than my ENTIRE knife collection.
