The 12t cog on the 2 speed gives you a 74 inch gear or thereabouts, which I found a bit too high, and I kept having to switch to the uber-spinny gear to spin it back up to a speed that suited 74 inches.
However then I found that the 13t off one of the 6 speed models was a straight swap and gives you a nice 68 or 69 inch gear, which is just about perfect.

Thanks for getting in touch @Lolo and @cornelius_blackfoot about the sale on the previous page.
I think i'm looking for something a little newer though. I will probably ask a load of questions which have been answered up-thread so apologies in advance.
The first of these is: Is there a new design in the pipeline? Is now a bad time to be buying new? I've always dug the basic design but been put off by the weight. The cost of the Ti model isn't justifiable so if there was a new lighter model coming out I might well snap up the above s/h bargain and wait for the new model. If not I'll just buy new now.
I'm leaning towards the s/s model as i'm used to riding fixed/ss and the simplicity, reliability and weight saving appeals. Can anyone give some guidance as to what the standard Brompton ratios equate to in GI?
Cheers!
