Hi guys.
New user here, considering getting my first folding bike.
I have been looking at Tern bikes sold by Evans, as an alternative to a Brompton which unfortunately is out of my price range.
Does anyone have any general experiance of them, are they worth looking at? I know they don't fold anywhere near as small, but does anyone use them for commuting and are there any issues getting them on a train?
At first look they look well enough made, but in the long term, how do they fare?
From the reviews and other forums I have read so far,t he Tern bikes seem to be quite well regarded. However I popped into an Evans store to take a look and I was steered towards the bromptons by the salesman several times. Having done my time working in retail many years ago, I know to take advice from a salesman with a pinch of salt as it can sometimes be influenced by what products have the greater mark-up. So looking for advice from reall users.
Thanks
Dave
