I checked the bikes but they are not compact enough. The width is the most important part with the weight.

11 kg is the upper limit.

The T line seems to be the best option.

I'm not rich, but I can afford it. I'll just have to be careful with the expenses.

The only thing that bothers me is the transmission.

For the price, I expect a more versatile bike. Not for touring, but at least a better gear range for short trips.

I take an underpass at the station and there is an incline. On the way back, I have to climb it from a standstill. Very easy with the Tern. I have no idea how it would be with the T though.

Its weight is an advantage there.

I saw a comment on youtube about a creaking noise from the headset that someone attributed to a design issue. At least in the first models released.

I wonder if it's still the case.

The T is more expensive than a Birdy Rohloff or even the Helix, which would be a contender if it were available.

I feel that Brompton is more interested in releasing limited versions than in innovating and improving their bikes.
