A shocking sentiment (though I know one shared by this forum's resident design guru Little Pixel...)

I find the Mezzo a thing of beauty, certainly the equal or better than the suburban granny-bike looks of the Brompton or the tractor chic of the Birdy. I'll admit that it is a bit erm industrial to look at without a rider, but with a rider on it it suddenly makes sense in a way that many small wheel bikes that look nice on the page just don't. And it rides like a dream (albeit a slightly under-geared dream, but that's fixable...) And the engineering underpinning it - the catches (better than ANY other folding bike - seriously), the cantilevered stem, the folding arrangement - is all so well thought out and effective, you find yourself admiring its quirks if you give it the time. Like the slightly ugly girl you end up fancying more than the others because she is brighter and more interesting than the others (or maybe that's just me...).
