    Have you ridden a brompton? Personally, I hated it. Felt unsafe. Evans cheapie Tern on the other hand was a hoot.
    Have now. Bought a Brompton. There should be a forum bell to ring when you get a new bike 8)

    Colour? Which bars (please, not the horrid cowhorn ones :evil: )

    I just couldn't hack the nervousness of it

    I'd wanted the raw lacquer but they had a 4-6 week wait for it so I grabbed the one they had in stock.

    I thought it felt a bit nervous at first, but very quickly it felt fine. Maybe it'd be different on hilly bits but it was fine on the commute.

    Nice colour. Like your flooring, by the way
