I hope I'm wrong here about the pricing, I really do but facts are facts. Seattle Cycles Ti folding bikes are going for $5,500 and I'm sure if Brompton had a full Ti bike we would be looking at nearly the same pricing. Even Chinese Ti parts are not that cheap. I keep thinking of the line in There Will Be Blood when Daniel Plainview tells his son We'll give them quail prices for the farm instead of oil prices. I believe that these are quail prices .
