I've admired BF's ever since I found them on Google, I'm particularily fond of the Pocket Rocket and Pro as I used to road race, however these days commuting, touring with full panniers and general fitness riding leads me to a NWT with dropbars, I just wish they were easier to buy in Oz. Or I could try to get some S&S couplings and make my non folding R20s into folders for that tour around England.
