Last question, would you add this to your quiver given the chance? Thanks for posting the sneak peak of this bike.
As the title suggests; this was just an extended test ride. I would need the bike for at least a week to make a full review.
Some pros:
-fold is identical to Brompton's - quick & compact
-fit and finish are top notch; paint quality, how parts mesh together, etc.
-sporty handling; quick steering/reaction
Some cons:
-sporty position more aggressive than non S type Brompton
-less accessories available; compared to Brompton, Tern, Dahon, etc
Would I buy it? I might consider it if I needed another bike in the future.
