"So I had a look at the cheaper folders. They're all too heavy. Anything decent is pretty much on par with the price in Australia. So no folder from Japan for Taez."

Doc Embrey commented on Lyn Stern's group Folders"I have heard it said that a good number of bicycles to own is N+1. I studied a lot of mathematics and straight away wondered what N was. Well, I reckon N is equal to the time you have to ride them. And so, it was with great sadness that I sold the…"

Doc Embrey commented on Lyn Stern's group Folders"Well, it's been a bit over a week since I started waiting for delivery of this years bike (yes, I'm a bourgeois cyclist) and in light of Gary McDonalds experience I have ... well a while to wait.

Doc Embrey commented on Lyn Stern's group Folders"The conversation went along the lines of

ME: OK, no worries, it will get here when it gets here

- Thanks Lyn, I actually don't have my folder yet so I'm a bit premature joining your group! My wife and I have been waiting 8 weeks now for our Brompton M6Ls so they should arrive any time now. Will post some photos when we get them. We are also planning a 2 month trip round Europe in July & August by Brompton and train so will hopefully have some good content to post!
