howdy.
- go test ride
- go test some non stock options; aka wider bars, different gearing options etc
- 3 speed is most reliable other than SS, 6 speed is king/queen but the 2 speed system is not perfect when it gets worn / gunked up.
- defo need a rack + easy wheels, Brompton / SON / Joseph Kuosac wheels are best for durability / smooth rolling
- bike gang is a mix of bling / lightweight but generally great; bias but I think SJS has the best UK stock of OE and aftermarket stuff.
- do not be fooled that the only options are the OE ones. sticking on a wider bar with ergonomic grips makes it a completely different bike.
- go test ride

I'm thinking of getting a Brompton haven't test ridden anything yet...
Reading through this thread the 2 spd is popular but 3 spd is most reliable stock option?
I'd like to be able to wheel the bike around folded - rear rack and ez wheels required for this? Any recommendation for rack please...bike gang website has loads of bling but what is most useful?
