good info.

Looking forward to seeing what you get done to the Brommie. I have found a brilliant lock for mine, it looks like a tie wrap and is really small to carry around

I live in New York City in a basement apartment in Brooklyn. I was a bike commuter for many years. I had health problems so I didn’t ride but recently I started riding again for errands and actually strange riding for exercise. I have a S2L. I use to work at a bike shop for 16 years. I love riding my Brompton knowing I can stop and go inside a place if needed. And I love the cute factor.

What are those cool glasses you were wearing on the ride bro?

Don’t get why you can’t take your Brompton in that 7-11 🤷🏾‍♂️

Hi. Instead of wearing your backpack on the back, why dont you suspend it on the handlebar, so that it is between the handlebar and the seatpos? It works very well for me.

Rocky mountain tour on your folder, great vistas, take a bow for doing it on your zessie folder. 😅

Understand you use the bike as a commuter bike. But do you feel any difference in comfort, efficiency, performance of this cheaper bike compare to expensive brompton? Is it a marginal gain or a huge difference?

Dear Mr bike unfolds great vid on ur brommy ride through Denver, ya your write about stupid car drivers as a keen cyclists 🚴‍♂️ myself you need eyes every where I'm thinking hard about bying a Brompton bike if you want a folding bike hand made they are the Rolls Rice of bikes keep riding buddy it's freedom your a long time dead .😊

My mom bought one kislux and she loves it. It had been there for over 10 years when she went out with it.

Frame bag will be good for the tools that are missing from the Brompton toolkit (I have chain breaker, open ended spanner, spoke key, spare links, TipTop patches, Pedro’s tyre levers), or maybe a good place for a small medkit

I order a new world tour bike friday in May, still waiting on it ⏲️. I got it decked out with everything, disk brakes, 2 racks, 18 speed, h handle bars. I'm excited but still waiting for it to ship, it's been 9 weeks since i ordered it.

After this experience, would you still recommend a trailer to the Brompton? Or lighter setup. Thanks for sharing, you have a great channel. Michael (Belgium)

Can you do a Brompton vs Bike Friday comparison? My Brompton P was just stolen & I'm considering BikeFriday. Thanks 😂😂😂

(1) Five min b4 u address the topic? 😮 (2) Don't hold the camera so close to yr nostrils. Scary 😱

Temporary pain for long term gain 💪

Hi Brian love your vlogs just wondering why you ride the most compact folder and carry it unfolded down the stairs at home and at work?

You need ppl to ride with so important

nice to see just a proper cyclists sharing the reality of the challenges

I ride this bike and watching this review I don't get what this guy is talking about...nothing is loose or clunky as some people are mentioning, maybe on the older Gothams but the one I have ride fine and has no issues as he states. Its a good little bike, the center clamp works fine, drive train is good and shifts fine, I had Dahons in the past and this is just as good. He absolutely critizises everything, sorry not buying his B.S. Happy owner of a Citizen...

I’m doing between 300 and 400 km per month on my Brompton. This is for short trips plus commuting to work. I get through a set of tyres per year, and a couple of couple of chains and cogs a year. I find that rims last about 3 years and hinges about the same. I’m pretty relaxed about this as eventually mechanical things wear out and in comparison with my car servicing costs is so much less. Thanks for your films.

Brian, I found another folding bike to look at. Priority may have your all weather solution with belt drive. Check it out.

Seems like you have the only review online about the bdr bag. How is the padding? I'm thinking about using it to carry my laptop and other stuff for work. Can't really tell from the pictures on the website if there's enough padding to protect something like that or if the bag is just for clothes/tents/etc.

i like the cool bike music montage. 😎

I had my Crank changed to one with Ceramic balls, and from titanium, at the first, Free Service (Actually it is part of the price, and not at all "free"). But I don't use it regularly, as you do! Finn. Denmark

Wow, Brian rides like Tadej Pogacar on his morning commute. That's impressive.

Hi Brian, Thanks for another interesting video. I am surprised that your Brompton needs an overhaul. In terms of time, it is not that old-right? How many miles are you riding it each week?

Great Video. The Bags seem very functional - I like the idea having the Backpack on the rack - one can shoulder the bag and roll the brompton around. All their products seem to be thought through nicely. I only have the small nash from them, and I like its quality. The uniklip is from a german company, which one can buy by itself. The bright inner lining helps one spot things inside the bag and makes it obvious if the bag is not closed. too bad I have too many bags :D

Doing all the replacements and having a shop to do the work, is it cheaper than buying a new Brompton?

Brian, another great video. Sorry if I missed it, but how many miles do you have on this Brompton and your CHPT3?

Can you provide more information on the new rim? Same freewheel as the original? What parts were ordered for the rebuild?

Have a great summer Brian , stay safe .

Dont forget to have the seatpost sleeve replaced on the Brompton. Be safe Bryan.

I feel you dude.. When you breaking spook wheel due to frequent riding, in my case, I break my bike's rim wall due to hard gravel.. It's not even funny...to be honest..😅

Hey man can you get your hands on a tern vektron and do a review? I own one and love it

I’m with you. I (almost) never carry a bike lock with me when I’m on my Brompton. If I can’t bring my Brompton inside a building or shop, I don’t go in. Good video!

i bought a used brompton back in 2009 from a college kid who also bought it from someone else. so i'm the 3rd owner of the brompton. i rode the brompton to work for a year or 2 (8 miles) and occasionally weekend group ride here or there. also started doing part time food delivery during the pandemic averaging about 10 miles each day here or there since 2020. i had countless flat and tires replace from bike shop. i bought my brompton to a brompton junction shop back in 2022 and they suggested a complete overhaul replacement like hinge pins etc. the cost was almost buying a new cheap brompton model. they said it is dangerous riding my used brompton. but so far, knock on wood i'm still riding my brompton just fine. so i'm taking my chance.

Oooo. Heavy duty spokes! That Zizzo Forté is going to be formidable!

Noooo

Well kept impressions. So i read it the magnets can be a problem.I'm Just looking for a used mariner or Mu and try to find a comparison of these.

Ok I just binged all of your trip… I’m really hoping it’s just taking time to get through editing and not that you were eaten by a bear… I just got a folding bike, have a mountain bike as well, you’re sparking my love of cycling…

Stupid you for writing aggressively your fault

I have an opportunity to buy a NWT almost identical to this one, vintage 1993. What’s a fair price if the bike is in great condition??

That rack bag is amazing!

Tis a fine looking bike.

😅 be happy you good not having a job sucks 😊

The exact point of a Brompton is that you take it inside. Why would you ever lock it outside?

Too many issues. Just ride the damn Brompton and also use the truck entrance. Cars probably use it too. It's only awkward in your mind. Never take away the pleasure of riding a Brompton! ❤😜

I got myself another brompton for the same reason. But i got it used. You can get perfectly fine bromptons for half the price. And with those bikes, you probably feel fine with it beeing mudded or putting stickers on it, to prevent bike theft..

The things you own, ended up owning you.
