SarahL Jul 2009 3:12pm, 23 Jul 2009 8,387 posts	SarahL Oh BTW I'm totally with Rach. If i had to buy another fold up bike I would defo buy a brompton. Without ashadow of a doubt, no questions asked. There's a 5 year guarantee on the frame and 2 year guarantee on all parts too
GregP Jul 2009 3:13pm, 23 Jul 2009 18,894 posts	GregP I'm still waiting for the definition of 'personalisable'. Until yesterday I thought they were only available in red, too...
SarahL Jul 2009 3:13pm, 23 Jul 2009 8,388 posts	SarahL Oh and what Rach means by personalisable is that you have your Brompton built to your own desiired spec. You choose all the bits you want/don't want and they build it exactly for you. no extra cost for doing it, but you normally have to wait 8 weeks. See here: foldingbikes.co.uk You acn choose tyres, gears, brakes, frame type, rack, lights, bag carrier etc etc

Rach E Jul 2009 3:30pm, 23 Jul 2009 4,082 posts	Rach E Sorry, GregP - I missed your comment!! Sarah's link is good, or you can look at this order form straight from the horses's mouth (which should satisfy your internal geek): clients.squareeye.com (Lizzie - that commute could be 30 seconds on a Brompton ;-))
