What's counterfeit about it? The one they just sold on eBay was a Brompton- with many mods. The UFB is not, nor is it described as such, it's built from scratch, though it clearly follows the original design template. If Brompton had a problem with Len, they'd have sued by now. And I quote from the PDF :"I was invited to be a Keynote Speaker at the first “Folder Forum” in Weymouth, England [where I first met Andrew Ritchie in person, who—despite my being forewarned might disapprove of the modifications and reinterpretation I had visited upon his noble-yet-humble Brompton design—greeted me with genuine interest and was quite generously supportive, as he has continued to be over the years. [One employee of the company later quipped over a beer, “sure—youʼre our free R&D department!”)]".

I did say this is the bike Brompton should be building 'in many respects'. One respect I didn't mean is the price...Certainly many of Len's ideas could be used on the production line, like those of modders like Steve Parry and Ben Cooper- it's a shame their ideas haven't been picked up by the factory.
