No they don’t. What’s the difference, 25mm? It’s bullshit. You’d make that up by moving the saddle. There’s so much nonsense written about bicycle geometry. I’ve ridden literally hundreds of Brommies over the years, I’ve ridden and raced bikes with all manner of angles and wheelbases and it’s largely bollocks.

absolute codswallop dude.
the frame alone is noticeable, plus you have pretty much every other part of the bike changed when looking at a post 2017 bike they ride like two different brands.

I'm with you on this Sir. Rode many a Brompton (and most brands, raced too) and before the fanboys/girls knew about Bromptons. SWB and LWB no difference on handling for me. Still noodly as fuck. Still love it for <3 mile journeys.

You can’t tell the difference? It’s night and day chap.
Swb bikes ride so so different.
Is honestly consider flipping that to get a newer one.
