2:38 “standard must me maintained” this is one of the most British line I have heard

Absolutely spiffing, old chaps! Requiring a jacket and tie is truly what makes this work! lol

Brilliant. I'd love to have a Brompton, but to be able to afford one I'd have to have a job that required a suit and tie.

Brompton are a prestige yet shitty bike with low tier components. Unless you have money to burn, it's not worth it to buy one

@@yukiko_5051 I'd disagree. Whilst you can get cheaper alternatives from unknown brands and even mainstream shops like Decathlon, you'll struggle to find the same level of support and parts when the bike gets more than a few years old. There are people using and servicing their decade(s) old Bromptons. I think that's where the value is.

I have had my Brompton since 3 months before the pandemic hit. It was invaluable as the means to my exercise/recreation during lockdown. Now, with each passing day of riding the Brompton, it seems more and more of a good deal. My only real gripe is that keeping it in tyres is at LEAST four times (4×) as expensive as for a bike with full-sized wheels.

@tomrees4812

Жыл бұрын

Tyres? I’d just got to work one day on mine and the back wheel went bang. The brakes had worn through the rim. I was commuting about 8 miles a day for 2 years on it (bike -train-bike). That bike (bought in 1996) was stolen in London last year but I have bought a new one. They use better quality components nowadays - lights, brakes, tyres and rims.

This looks like such fun

In Norway they for years had a Contest, rolling a tracked van down a hill, and then sailing out to ring a bell on a pole in a lake below the former version of The Holmenkollen Skijump in Oslo! It was also very funny and a rather useless exercise. I myself own a former top and now extra light, 2019 Superlight Brompton, presently just over 9 kilo, with mudguards, so I do know it is a "horrible bike" to actually ride, as a bike. Its only good side is the smal size and low weight when folded. Finn. Denmark

I'm disappointed with Brompton's customer service quality. I'm curious about the right way for a buyer to receive help with their long-term warranty.

I don't see the point. Why not just ride a normal road or cross bike? Is it that you can fit them in a boot of a car? I have a people carrier car (Toyota Noah/Voxy) and my road bike fits in the back, and it will fit in the back of taxis if I remove a wheel. I can take my road bike on Japanese bullet trains if I put it in a bag.

You can put 3 of these inside the trunk of the average car. And you can take them with you into the shop instead leaving it locked outside. You can just get a storage bag and sling the whole thing on your shoulder. It also has a trolley mode where you can attach a basket and use it like a shopping cart) Google "travelling with Brompton", people take these on airplanes and they fit in the overhead bin.. These can fold within seconds, so you can jump on a bus, use it for a mile or two, and then onto another bus, and then with you at the destination. It's for people who practice true multimodal transport.
