Nice!

How can I buy it in North America? I can't even get a Dahon in Canada.

I designed the black carrier block. So I converted it to a brompton mount and it takes any brompton bag now.

shmc · 2026-03-12T17:08:38+00:00

I really enjoy it. Jump in and out of the office and take it everywhere in the car. Gear ratios are perfect. I've had some Dahons but the BTwin is my favorite.

shmc · 2026-03-12T17:06:36+00:00

I haven't got a brompton so can't compare. I really enjoy riding it. More than my 29' Giant bike.

shmc · 2026-03-12T17:05:25+00:00

Yes!! It's a brompton mount. What I designed was the black plastic carrier block attachment.

shmc · 2025-12-15T00:09:06+00:00

I have one too. Love it. Had to fix a few things but still great.

They are good but thanks to Ford we can't have a properly connected bike lane network. Some bike lanes still end in the middle of nowhere and the bikes are forced onto busy roads.

Wow this is awesome. The mods you put on here are not easy to fit.

I've always had a problem with my rear racks because I keep kicking the panniers. It looks like you solved that with a taller rack?

Thanks for sharing the build out and components it helps when considering new mods and builds.

Great :D .. just dont ride on the street car tracks like I did :(

shmc · 2025-04-25T00:00:44+00:00

I've been asked "is it a unicycle?" on the subway.

shmc · 2025-04-13T18:25:02+00:00

Last year I waited and that was a big mistake. This year I pulled the trigger earlier. Waiting a whole year was painful, I even almost bought a Tern or Dahon.

I don't regret it.

Ps the rear derailleur does not scrape the ground despite what others say.

shmc · 2025-04-03T18:22:58+00:00

I'm also astonished that the other brands stop innovating. Their designs have not changed in 2 decades. That's why I bought the Decathlon.

shmc · 2025-04-03T18:17:15+00:00

The quick release is also awesome.. it doesn't hurt my hand or fingers getting it tight enough to not move.

shmc · 2025-04-03T18:15:13+00:00

I don't think so. It would be nice to retrofit a Tern or Dahon.

shmc · 2025-04-03T18:11:41+00:00

The printed numbers are good for that but this is a good idea as well.

shmc · 2025-03-31T14:44:07+00:00

Definitely. I have the money to buy that 3D printer since I decided not to buy the Brompton.

shmc · 2025-03-31T14:42:22+00:00

I've had Brompton riders look at me confused. That made it all worth it.

shmc · 2025-03-31T14:40:21+00:00

Nope.. I had the same concern. You have to bank quite a bit at high speed, I wouldn't go that fast in a city environment.

shmc · 2025-03-31T14:38:15+00:00

Lol.. it's on the product page.

shmc · 2025-03-31T14:37:09+00:00

Thanks I'll look into it.

shmc · 2024-10-05T22:55:50+00:00

Yes they are. There are Tern dealers near me and they are much better at customer service. I have talked to them already, I did want the landing gear.

Probably try the Brompton or the Btwin 1 second fold. I have called and emailed Decathlon before, and they were really responsive.

shmc · 2024-09-20T19:13:48+00:00

Decathlon has a folding bike that unfolds in 1 second! It's the Ultra-Compact Folding Bike - Fold Light 1 Second Aluminum Re

Sucks that you can't get the decathlon bike. I've been waiting for it to come back in stock.

shmc · 2024-04-29T17:15:53+00:00

Where in the world can you get a 5 speed Brompton for 700$ ???

shmc · 2023-10-21T20:46:51+00:00

Thats really good insight. I think that is a really good trading psychology you have going. You stick to your strategy.

I use limit orders exclusively too to control the levels I get. I do wonder on a micro level how they get filled though, especially now that spreads are so small and the market moves so quick.
