I don't think it weighs much different to the previous one I had. The old Brompton didn't have the rear catch like the current one, but it did not start to fold up when you got off it. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21250#post-366566 Thu, 16 Feb 2023 08:11:56 +0000 gembo 366566@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Anyone know what an old style Brommie, the one which starts to fold if you get off it, ie. Your weight keeps it flat?</p> <p>Ta </p>
