Raxel, your premise is that all tech has to be "new" or it's "old". I think it's a flawed way to look at bicycles, as I expressed when I told you about the (expensive) lugged steel bikes I buy. I have a "modern" titanium Seven with STI shifters, but IMO it's just different, not an improvement over the steel stuff with quill stems and bar-end shifters. Which is how I feel about Bromptons, I like the way they work. The fold is unimprovable and I don't need a 10-speed cassette and derailleur mucking about back there. The 6-speed IGH with pusher is great.
