Crossposting from the Brompton thread, let me introduce you the latest(ish) addition to the fleet. After a short ride on a friend's 6 speed bike, i started looking without too much hassle to find a decent second hand one. After a while, i stumbled upon this one, sold by a guy who bought it new in april and decided, after a couple of months, to upgrade to a T-Line (Y tho).
Right now i have transferred all the good stuff from my previous blue H2 (which I'm gonna sell soon) to this one (albeit i'm still missing a couple of finishing touches), i can't wait to load it up and ride some distance on it.
The shorter gear ratio is really an improvement, especially considering the fact that i'm gonna ride this bike like a "normal one", around gravel tracks and vertical elevation. I can't see myself ever getting rid of a Brompton, because it's versatility is really umatched.
I'm gonna depart in a couple weeks for a trip in northern/central Europe, hoping to ride it a lot and really make the most of it's folding abilities on the public transport services.
