I am glad you tried the mezzo.
This is my point. I could agure that one needs 1 1/8 tyres and to lower the bars and alter the gears, but I have made this point already. (I am boring arent I ? ).

You tried the bike and found it wobbly, I don't, but hopefully due to the forum you tried "ALL" the competition and did not over-rely on internet reviews and such.

I admit defeat!

I hope other potential folder purchasers also try it out. Some will love Mezzos, Bromptons, Birdies or other bikes.

The more choice their is for folding buyers the better the choice will be,and the more mainstream folders will become.

I do not feel all Brompton owners have always made a mistake, but I made a mistake when buying one. There is more than one great bike range on the 16" compact commuting niche.

Congratulations to the wisdom and spirit of all folding bike users !

Folding bike riders know that a good folder can be faster than a mountian bike or hyrid. They can also be quicker otherall than even a time trial bike once you have found a secure storage place and locked it up!!


I can get 4 folding bikes in the boot of an Vauxhall astra for family outings, Folding bikes are great items, but under-rated items by the general public at large.
But a general word of warning, try before you buy and dont believe the hype, not even mine!
