Or it could just be demonstrating Brompton's blurb that "Minor variations to the finish appear on each bike, ensuring that the final look is incredibly unique".
Which I interpret as "We tried really hard to get a smooth, consistent finish, but we couldn't so let's get our marketing people onto it..."
My gripe with bromptons is the, to my mind, daft gearing set up. If only the rear triangle was wide enough for sensible Shimano affline hub gears (or even Roloff), or alternatively a 9 speed freehub. The 2 x 3 arragement, whilst it does work, is a bit pants really and the plastic derailleur mech is plain nasty.
Yes. I rode mine for about 1/2 a mile the other day with no hands. But it never felt completely stable and I don't think I'd have liked to try and turn it no-handed.
That said, I do have wider than standard bars on mine. So maybe they contributed to the stability.
