What alternative's are there? I was looking for a tandem to use with a child for a while. This one allows the child to sleep and they are always in front which is safer. I have not seen anything else like it....enlighten me if I am wrong.
Thanks,
Yan

In theory? since Im OK with my M3L with a Mountain Drive crank ?
One of Ben Coopers modified Bromptons with disc brakes and a Rohloff.

Or a BiFri Tikit BTO.

I was trying to find pricing on the Helix but it loops back to the pre-order in March page. Anyone know how much these things will go for?

I read about the Hase a while back, I recall it costed about twice as much as the Morpheus.
The Morpheus is actually very cheap....compared within their market.
Thanks

I currently ride a Norco/Fiori folding bike and Dahon Curve D8 (D3 upgraded to 8 gears), but the next folding bike I am dreaming about would be a black Brompton SL1 upgraded to wider rear triangle from Kinetics to then have a Nexus or Rohloff hub. Realistically to get this I will wait for an older Brompton to show up on eBay or Craigslist and then try to cold set the rear dropout myself to fit a Nexus. If that failed then buy the rear triangle from Kinetics.

1. Two speed Brompton with the titanium forks and rear end, seat post, S mast with Tioga 60 mm bars. (This to replace my current setup)
or
2. Moulton TSR 2.
I don't want to be greedy and I want to keep my bike ownership to one full size bike and one folder or folder like.

I want another Raleigh Twenty/Shopper/Stowaway. I've got a 1971 Raleigh Twenty folder and it's been modified somewhat, powder coated with new decals. It's a lovely bike.

Just sold my stowaway the other day for £80 which in turn paid for a new Brooks Flyer Special saddle for my Moulton.

Nobody mentioned the Airnimal Chamelion. 24" wheels, breaks down to pack in a suitcase, folds easily t.o stuff in the boot, rides very well.
