Came across one brand called mint/sunrimoon which is a brompton knockoff but uses conventional road bike external 9 speed gears and comes equipped with disk brakes.

doesn't fold as neat.

can't adjust pedal after fold.

easy chain stuck if not fold properly.

disk brake add on weight.

if want a trifold bike with external gearing, currently best solution will be custom built with aceoffix frame with silverock 5-7 speed wheelset plus ltwoo derailleur for trifold.

Using one, doesnt fold as neat but unfolded alot nicer to cycle than original.

internal hub does have its own advantage when comes to urban commuting where it allows to shift while not pedaling, quite handy when riding in stop and go traffic in the city.

But slow. I take this fake brompton with 9 speed and chase other roadbikes at 30km/h lol

as long you enjoy it laugh.gif

all foldies have their own characteristics, that's why we have N+1 number of bikes laugh.gif

to be honest, i am interested to have the crius trifold so that i can share the wheelset with my other 16" bikes. but too bad i hate the crius logo is painted to the frame, not a removeable sticker.

Haha i tried the brompton, too slow so end up deciding on this.
