Always wanted my own Brompton after using the Brompton cycle hire scheme a few times a while back.

Finally committed and collected the bike (12 speed p-line). I wasted no time taking it for a ride including up swain's lane in London (20% incline).

I'd forgotten how nice they are to ride… However

The short crank arms feel so weird and I'm sure I'll get used to them soon.

Not so sure of the gear ratios though and chain skipping in one of the gears doesnt help

    Love the color.

    Congratulations!

    I think pedal strike is an issue with the C-Line 170 mm cranks when riding aggressively. 160 mm sounds like an improvement to me.
