"I found a better pic of that bike...."
Thanks, That thing is a marvel of engineering! ....and yes, Mr. Moulton would have something to say about it.

Maybe more of a Utility Bike entry, but small wheels, so I'll post it here:

Wow,almost $2k. That's more than I paid for my Big Dummy.
Wonder if the price is going to drop like the Mini Velo's did?

Actually,there was a site selling them for $500. There's still a 53 on eBay for that. I almost bought one,but didn't like the 451 wheels and narrow-ish tire clearance,plus not a fan of canti's. If it had 406's and I could've mounted some 1.6" Marathon Supremes,I would've pulled the trigger.

If you ever do get one, ditch the original Kenda's for some higher-pressure tires.

The Like , does not necessarily include Owning one.. those who own a Brompton,
have already said so in numerous other threads . so why do so again ..
but since you insist..
1 BRG M3L , Ergon GR3 grip , Mountain drive 54t (21.6t) 2 speed crank.
dynamo lights and several bag options for the front carrier block..

I ordered a custom Brompton S3 two days ago from Switchback Cyclery here in Toronto, Canada. I'll have it in a couple of months, problem is I have to wait 3 months for all the snow to melt and 4 months for warm Spring weather. But by ordering it now I'll beat the Spring rush. Here in Canada bicycle shops are almost empty during the Winter, then first sign of warm Spring weather and the service counter gets slammed 3 deep.
I used search to find and read all posts on the folding bikes board that have Brompton in the title, and it helped me get to know a bit more about them. I'm looking forward to tearing up the bike trails here in Toronto with mine

the prior bike I posted Here..https://www.cyclofiend.com/working/20...clark1110.html
go look
the Newer one Has no rack , but the crankset, shown, was retained ,
(put the OEM 50t back on)
as was the saddle and front Touring Bag..
Background:
spring and fall there is a cruise ship port of call, here, as the tourists Biz are going from
winter tropical home ports, to summer Alaska coast cruises ,
and the reverse at the end of the Summer.
they mostly hit the thrift stores, here, when ashore..

Thanks, I'm new to the Folding Bikes board. Just started following it a week ago.
I ordered a custom Brompton S3 two days ago from Switchback Cyclery here in Toronto, Canada. I'll have it in a couple of months, problem is I have to wait 3 months for all the snow to melt and 4 months for warm Spring weather. But by ordering it now I'll beat the Spring rush. Here in Canada bicycle shops are almost empty during the Winter, then first sign of warm Spring weather and the service counter gets slammed 3 deep.
