Sigh? How about laying off the condescending attitude, bro. It seems that you are like this whenever there is a Brompton-Tikit discussion. There is no need for your stance as I would like to believe that we are all folder friends here.

Anyway, there is no doubt that the Tikit folds in record time and is pretty amazing in that regard. However the folded size and package leaves much to be desired, more so when compared to a folded Brompton. And folding is is not 'tiresome and cumbersome' as you implied. Maybe perhaps so if you fiddled with a Brompton for a moment or two, but trust me when you are used to it (and have used the Brompton extensively) you will find that it is very easy to fold/unfold. How long have you had a Brompton anyway?

I really can't understand why some people feel the need to bash another folder that differs from their choice.
