I didn't say that that's what that bike maker is doing. What I did say, however, was that your statement, "
the ETRTO349 Marathon Racer are only made for and sold by Brompton.", is false and mis-informed. Here it is, that so exclusive Brompton tire, on offer in the largest shopping platform of the world's fourth most populous country. 😀 One really ought to get out more.🤡
