guys thank you all for your kind comments.
I think my heart was on the mini since i saw it here on the pictures with the brompton comparison.
Also it seems that everyone has but good words to say about it. Plus, the generic parts mean I can fix it easily all over Europe.

Just also to let you know that I spoke with Anitta and she says no more mercs for the forseeable future - she has sold them all.

I have gotten in touch with sammyboy - will keep you posted and hopefully some pics will show up soon
