i'm just tired of hearing from ppl here that nothing compare to the brompton and now that we have a folding bike that can compete against the brompton and all the brompton lovers come to its defense and tried to bash the new folder. i think the brompton time has come and will be gone...time for new folder to dominate the market.
If you think it's bad here Vincent, try the Brompton Talk email list. I went there and mentioned my Merc and they went totally bonkers. I think people express pretty fair opinions here mostly, give or take we have had the occasional nut drift in. I remember one guy who responded to a polite request as to how the brakes on a bike might be improved by telling the OP to try stopping it with his face. He also wrote about being chased down the streets by women when he wore cycling shorts and pulling a gun on punks who laughed when they saw him on his folder.
I never rode a Mezzo, but its a damned UGLY contraption.
