Thanks, it was payment for a summer internship I did with them last year which meant I wasn't constrained with the normal online builder. Got to put it together myself which was nice too.
I think it's so so convenient, for instance me and the girfriend had stayed last night at a friends house in Walthamstow, both Bromptoned down to the olympic park had lunch and a cycle around, took them into the velodrome then got everything on the tube to come back to Putney, did the shopping, Girlfriends bag was now a bit unmanageable so we swapped bags (with of course no adjustment necessary) and cycled home.
The only issues are carrying it around when folded, fine for me, but girlfriend has a rack and uses the saddle to wheel it around and the fact that if you are a couple and one of you has one it can be frustrating as you end up often leading a lifestyle enabled by your Brompton!
