So my commute is about to change from a thrash across London every day to a once a week 2 hour train journey, plus Kings X-> Wandsworth.
So I'm looking at retiring the fixie and getting some kind of folder.
Now Bromptons seem the popular choice,(probably an S1L or an S2L) but a) what else is there, b) I've never ridden anything with smaller than 26" wheels and like a fairly racy position. c) anything specific to look for if I get a second hand one?
Also is the "lightweight" frame upgrade package worth the extra?
From what I've heard/read, Bromptons win for foldability, but there are plenty of others out there that ride better - had a quick sit on a Dahon Speed Pro and that fitted almost normally, but the folded package was not neat at all!
Comments & ideas?
Cheers,
Jon
