I am not getting a brompton for its ridability but it's the portability.
I travel all.over quite a lot an 20 inch tern is quite hard to pack n fly with.
I got a tourer and MTB already.
By the way if anyone have used brompton for sale pls let me know

still have anything to sell?

When I put mine up for sale a few months ago, nobody was game enough to buy even when I was going to personally deliver the bike to the buyer. That was basically a new bike, not used all that much and never been in the rain! (you guessed it Sifu Etigge!)
Buying secondhand makes perfect sense. Won't lose money.

i can afford a brompton, however i keep questioning myself on a value proposition of it.
within malaysia, my tern p9 will always be the first choice,chunk into car reach and unfold it.
brompton sized is more for overseas travel, where i can just put into my luggage without much problem and carry it along with me whenever i am on public transport.
At cheapest 6sp at RM6700 for a brompton, i am thinking if i should spend that kind of money. Arguably brompton is a different league by its own, but i am not fanboy nor die hard fan.

I need to balance between the price i paid and the utility it provide me with.

having said so if a reasonably priced used B came along before Curl is available, i guess i will still make the jump.

That's why if there is an alternative, i wouldn't think twice to get it.

You buy Brompton for its legacy not functionality. It's not a fast nor it can climb hill easily.
Your tern p9 can out ride a Brompton in speed and comfort easily. 😄😄😄

That's why brompton has the best package now.
Until dahon curl comes n kick its arse...
The nearest model to it is the jifo n eezz but with cramped cockpit.

serious or not?
every year also launch hope they are serious this time, 2 for me too

QUOTE(etigge @ Mar 2 2016, 09:25 AM)
Confirmed will be this spring.  Looks like a 3 speeder unit ( The rear looks wide enough for a normal Alfine gears )with normal crank and chainring so price will also be normal lah. Problem is when is Guan Chow going to bring it in or rather will they dare to bring in, seeing the Dahon Qix is stagnant. I for one will not be waiting, if either Bangkok or Singapore brings it in, 2 for me  rclxms.gif

Qix is another failture product, don't fold significant smaller that current crop of folding bike, it is just novelty. EEZZ which i almost jump into is of smaller wheelbase, me riding would be like circus elephant.

Curl is the best balance.
