    No this is a risk, and a good mitigation idea

    Brompton g line has really slack geo (esp seat tube) geo which i dont like and also no suitable handlebar for climbing (bullhorn or drops preferred). Is also like 12kg, whereas this is sub 8kg.

    Petit porteur is rad, you could retrofit couplers

    Intended use is a 55km each way commute with the tube at one end; need a very capable commuter. I considered all the options and settled on either this or a bike friday pocket rocket.

    Folding is quite straightforward for public transport but only because there are no rear brake or gear cables to conplicate the 2 separable bits.

    Could do a build thread. Need to get the seat tube reamed. Here it is separated

    New minivelo:
    -853
    -Paragon Z couplers which are so effective and hidden they put S&S couplers to shame
    -Conforms to TFL and all train operator definitions of a folding bike (frame must separate / 20 inch wheels); and way more rideable than a Brompton (and lighter than a Bike Friday)
    -406 wheels > 451 wheels because much broader rim and tyre choices. Gravel tyre clearances (2.2 inch) but I prefer rim brakes so sticking to 1.75 inch tyres atm.
    -Yet to fit a brake
    -Built by forum's own @Biggles567 Hill Frameworks
    @JacqueLucque you may enjoy and propagate as you see fit. I will probably fit a 25cm stem shortly.

    I have a litespeed blade with paint needs redoing and one of the bottle cage threads (one is working) is gone, say £250 with forks and headset? Is a truly excellent frame though. Pm if you want pics
