In reply to suzanne fernie. You have gone to Evans, there is your issue.

One big issue is your saddle position.

Its too far forward and you need to level it out, this will give you a very different bike position and change the ride.

Bromptons are not expensive, every part is replaceable and can be made to last for 20+ years, none of that cheap aluminium rubbish.

Brompton is very good bike to ride , before purchasing it we need to look into genuine product.

I bought a 6 gear Brompton new from Evans in Edinburgh in 2017 and flew abroad where I rode everywhere. That bike was in the bike store again and again with gear issues over the next 6 weeks. A bit even dropped off it on one ride and I couldn’t change gears at all. Then the front tire started deflating regularly and quickly despite no tire issue. Eventually the store had to get replacement parts, after I contacted Brompton for help. All within 2 months of purchase. My husband bought the same model at the same time and has had no issues at all. It spoiled my holiday as I could not trust the bike to get me places. The local bike store sold Bromptons and was surprised by the extent of the problems, said it must be a dud bike. But Evans refused to replace my Brompton, just gave it a service. So don’t believe just because its a Brompton it will be reliable. It’s still a dud. Needs the gears fixed again. I don’t trust the bike and wouldn’t buy one again.

My advice is simple. If you want a Brompton, get a Brompton, not a copy.

I have been riding and selling folding bikes since the ’90’s and have ridden many designs. I’ve even been invited to bike factories to watch production and test products.

Dahon has been trying to get the Curl to market for years. Compared to a similarly equipped Brompton, the Curl is heavier, more expensive, transfers more vibration to the rider and takes a little longer to fold/unfold. Strangely, the angular v-shape of the top tube is similar to a design that Brompton discarded years ago. The Curl’s telescopic stem induces flex and makes the control cables bulge far in front of the bike when unfolded.

The Brompton has been in production in London since the late 70’s. They’re made to order to an incredibly high-quality standard by craftsmen who earn a living wage of $1000+/wk (the Dahon is produced in Shenzhen, China where factory workers earn an average of $300/wk).

Over time, Brompton has made incremental improvements with an eye towards backward compatibility so owners of older bikes can improve their bike rather than buy a new one. Compare that to our experience with older Dahons where finding proprietary parts can be impossible or impractical.
