And @infmz I will admit I’ve got a road biased one (disk brakes, alfine 8, but chain not belt) as I just wanted something that give a bit more confidence at stopping (disk brakes) than the normal Brompton, and I always liked the alfine 8 (less so 11). Having owned a 6 speed bromton previously I’d completely agree it’s unlikely to be a first choice and is a bit of a vanity product, but I certainly don’t regret it when it’s likely my most used bike!
@recycled I want to add at some point eerder metaals full metal jacket, which replaces the stock plastic block for a screwed and clamped metal luggage rack that looks (on his IG reels) to easily take a full sized human standing on it (albeit static load). I think that plus basket and the rear rack would make a pretty good foldable shopping bike, not unlike a Raleigh 20 in some respects

One of the best bikes I have built! Wish they didn’t drop the purple.

I love the Eerder stuff but you know that for just the cost of the full metal bracket you could but probably 3 Raleigh twenties right?!

I think the belt drive alfine 18” could be a really good compromise. With a small front electric motor and a removable front rack it could be pretty functional without adding much to the fold size
