Well the guy is active, his video is recent, so anyone can ask any questions and perhaps he can make a follow up video. The chap is avid cycler and has plenty other cycling videos. In other video on his channel he talks about reason why he DID NOT buy a brompton- unavailability and price. Price argument is kinda absurd at this point, because when one counts everything and even including time lost it is not really that much of a difference. There were cheaper Litepros on China pirate amazon 
, I wonder why he did not buy there. I could pay like up to 1/2 of the price for a clone, but to pay for a clone 80-90% is a bit absurd... Also many places offer financing for Brompton, and that is how I was able to buy one.
Speaking about availability part... Yes, that one was a really big issue. There was a time when Brompton bikes vanished from everywhere and even manufacturer had a hard time to fulfil the orders and that was for UK market. I can imagine what was going on internationally. I feel the pain...
In any case now we have someone who will be able to give a long term review. See it as some sort of sacrifice, a stunt for youtube followers, viewers.
