Folderitis strikes again!
Moulton TSR30. I once rode Sesamecrunch's (yes I blame him!) so when I test rode one again I was smitten. Now I will have to sell the Dahon Jetstream EX and possibly the Pacific Reach IF. I plan to add a honey brown Brookes B17 with cooper rails & rivets & matching Brooks tape. The front wheel has a Son 20 hub so I will either add a Sschmidt Edelux, Supernova E3 Triple or B&M Busch & Müller Cyo T Senso Plus. The latter seems by far the best value for money. I hope to get a B&M E-Werk at some stage to for longer rides to power my phone on GPS with the excellent Sportstracker on longer rides.

Wait a minute! Isn't there a statue of limitation on the crime of infecting others with folderitis? Mully's ride on my TSR was in July of 2008! Surely, I can't be held responsible for something that old!!!
Nice bike, beautiful color!

Sweet, I'm so jealous.
One day I shall have a TSR2, one day.
Your only problem now is how are you going to top this bike in the future?
Better start saving now, a Double Pylon isn't cheap.
Or you could get into motorcycling and save money.

Nice. I already own a TSR2. I would be interested to know your thoughts on how the TSR compares both with the Dahon Jetstream EX and Pacific Reach IF ? I guess the fact you have purchased the TSR and are selling the other two speaks volumes. One obvious difference, I realise, is the TSR has a steel frame.
For me the Brompton and TSR provide the best of both worlds, the perfect bike being one that takes the comfort of the TSR and the small folded package of the Brompton.
Oh and I forgot I also now have a Xootr which for me falls right in the middle of the two lol

Nice!! If I had to jettison all my bikes but one, I'd keep a spaceframe ... did 30 kind of hilly miles yesterday with my buddy .. he normally rides his favorite Lemond when we go out.. this time he borrowed a TSR-30 and I rode my TSR-20 .. he couldn't believe how fast and comfortable .. and as S/C will attest, when you're not riding one, they look terrific posed in front of the fireplace ..
