So far, nothing bad has happened frame wise etc...
It squeeks now, could be the pedals, don't know yet.
Despite them being cheap plastic crap , I like how the removable pedal stays in its magnetic holder. The MKS Always pedals on all of the other Brompton uses a bag...
The Lezyne 500xl headlamp that was purchased for the G works very well and keeping it on low beam I don't charge it constantly. It pales compared to the B&M Cyo on the handlebar. A gripe would be that there needs to be a better way to have a good light at the fork crown.
The handling is very stable, due it's super long wheelbase it feels somewhat sluggish at slow speeds. Downhill over 30mph, where a 349 B gets scary, it's a treat.

When I tested one I really liked the 8 speed Alfine hub, super-slick gear changes. Still tempted to do the Kinetic conversion on my S6L
