- It is not complicated to take the front wheel off a mezzo. There have been at least 3 different front fork/wheel designs, one of which resulted in my broken clavicle. The last version is easy, you just have to take the skewer all the way out, and pull the mudguard apart.
- the dog leg stem is rigid, so vibrations pass long it, just like the brompton.
- it's all moot anyway. They have taken down their website http://www.mezzobikes.co.uk/ or http://mezzobikes.com, so I guess mezzo is done.

Also the boss of http://www.velorution.co.uk/ who is bringing in ORI to the UK gave up on ATB so he did it himself.
Ignore the copyright date of 2010 on the ORI site, they have this years bikes on there.
Beyond this I have no idea of what is going on and no doubt this confusion just weakens the MEZZO/ORI market in comparison to Brompton. Places like Winstanleys might have a better idea if you asked them.
They were still alive and supplying spare parts for the mezzo in April, but I guess they are done now.
Not sure of the relationship, but Ori bikes have been around a long time, sharing (legally) IP with Mezzo. So Mezzo has not become Ori. Mezzo is dead. Long live Ori
