Thanks, any pix describing that seat post mod?
The Delsey Axiom is widely available in most independent luggage stores in my area. I was able to take my Brompton and drop it in both the Delsey and the Samsonite and do a comparison test. Most online places sell the Delsey for around $150 but I was able to find it for a little over $100 at a luggage shop in NYC (w/free shipping). I think they were called Eastside luggage. Local shops wanted around $250 for this Delsey.
