A bike parts company ditched Amazon to support indie shops instead

I am looking at a bike for commuting and as this will be multimodal - that means a Brompton which is well over £1200.

Oh and trying to find one in stock is a nightmare in the UK most be even worse else where.

If you're looking for cheaper, look into Dahon bikes, they're decent value and much cheaper. Especially if you can get a used one that has been kept well, you can often get it for less than half of the MSRP.

Expensive but worth it. Brompton designs are far better than the alternatives. They hold their value pretty well too, if it turns out you don't like it.
