After a conversation on the topic of foldable bikes a few years ago with @stephanetavera, I was convinced to try one. Today, I finally rode a Brompton 6-speed, and I’m really impressed! A very comfortable bike that rides about as well as my current city bike, but fits overhead on a train or plane is quite a compelling offer…
@stephanetavera O no! Now I’m fascinated with this foldable gravel bike…
Okay, they've got me when this new model comes out in the spring...

Tried this one today. I like it even more than the G-Line, even though it costs 1000€ less!
@jack @stephanetavera oh my goodness
@jack @stephanetavera @blaine aaaaaaaaaaahhhhh
@stephanetavera @blaine @wingo The bad news: the model I liked best is a special edition with an upgraded gearbox that’s only available in a color I can’t tolerate (metallic gold, like a bicycle for a pimp). There’s a new model coming next year with the higher end gearbox plus belt drive, so I’ll probably just wait
