  • I imagine this is a really stupid question, but my wife's about to pull the trigger on a Brompton (for obvious commuting reasons), but wanted to know whether they'd be suitable as an only bike? I know nothing about them - I imagine the worst that'd get thrown at it would be the odd ride around Richmond - is the gearing on the six speed suitable for a comfortable ride around there?

  • If you want some inspiration and examples for versatility here we have my Brompton light touring, off-road gravel, round town commuting, and in the Lakes for a car free summer holiday

    Yes I am aware it’s not fully standard and disk brakes help a bit but I’d also do most of this on a standard spec Brompton too (maybe less of the gravel though)
