You consider Brompton modern? I know people who have them and love them, but I just don't get it. And yes, I have ridden one or two.

Brompton, don't get me started. I consider it modern in the sense of a mature geometry, a stable platform. When it comes to some of its parts and materials, I consider it rather Neanderthal. I am no fan of Brompton. The brand-cultism and smug superiority of some/many of its owners only add to my distaste. I'll leave it at that.
