if you had to spend the money a std brompton and a heap of mini mods bits would give you better bang for your buck I suspect.
Because that allows them to use the existing subframe and not have to design a new one. Once again a decision made by accountants not engineers.I never got why the tensioner has to fit over the hubnut and wasn't made to screw onto the dropout area. Sure make it a bit easier to pull the rear wheel.
There you go.I would like to see better pics of the derailleur set up and the hub/sprockets.
Same goes for the moaners and haters in forums like this. No. matter what Brompton does oder doesn't do - the small predictable group of people will always find a reason to moan about it and to complain. No matter if there's a reason or not.You can tell the bean counters are well and truly in charge now
Maybe you should at least look at the pictures of the bike you are commenting on - the P-line does have a different rear frame from the "usual" Bromptons.Because that allows them to use the existing subframe and not have to design a new one. Once again a decision made by accountants not engineers.
as a brompton owner, there is quite a bit of moaning that's justified in my opinion.Same goes for the moaners and haters in forums like this.

Possible. Also, from the perspective of Brompton, a lot of moaning about forum comments and statements would be justified in my opinon.as a brompton owner, there is quite a bit of moaning that's justified in my opinion.
Most of it could be sorted with a little bit of thinking, less overestimation of the own relevance or cleverness, a bit of research before posting and adjusting own expectations to reality.most of it could be sorted at little cost in my opinion.
Fun fact: There is no obligation to buy or own a Brompton. In fact many of the moaners don't own one. There are dozens if not hundreds of other folders available. If you are part of the constant-moaner-squad and still decided for a Brompton this probably says something. Not so many people that constantly moan about Morgan as it seems. Neither of the owner nor of the non-owners. Also I do have my doubts that anyone would rate a Morgan as the best sports car while a lot of people rate Brompton as the best folding bike.I like to think Brompton is to cycling what Morgan is to motoring.
Judging from the pic the tensioner and the derailleur may be two different, independent parts - this would also explain the two mounting points. Possibly the tensioner has one jockey wheel and the derailleur has the other one. Hard to tell.It seems the derailleur is attached to the rear triangle in the back, by the axle and again where the chain pusher assembly used to be.
