Believe me, my relationship with my Bromptons has definitely been a love hate relationship. Give me a good 8 or 9 spd internal hub and better brakes combined with some sort of decent front suspension while getting the weight closer to 20#'s or so or at least under 10kg. and I could be VERY HAPPY with my Brompton. As it is now it's like kissing an ex-girlfriend that you still find attractive but don't understand how you could have ever lived with her before.
