Had a chance to ride my new NiTi Brompton special today, finally... Order a "summer" bike in April, get in July, spend 2 months trying to find time to finish it off, ready in time for autumn .... Oh well.. Still needs the bars taping and a bit more saddle setup... That chainring is an 80t BTW...

With such a big chain ring does it still fold properly?
Yes, just. I use a wire hook on the forks adn that goes behind the chainring, you have to rotate the chainring in and out of the fold and it touches both chainstays, the forks and the tensioner stationary arm.... the most obviously odd bit of the fold is the handlebars need nearly 3 inches of extra space, achieved with a long CF clip adn an extension in the mushroom...
