>>2007694That's a really great deal, congrats.
If you are in doubt about the 6s C-line, watch this vid about the 12s:
https://youtu.be/1hWXTlpZrRs?si=o47pNnAdksT88cRi&t=79You can see that the 6s still covers most of the 12s, and I can honestly say that the lowest gear is never used. So all you're getting is smooth gear transitions, which add very little to the riding experience.
The P-Line is about 800 euro more, for it's lighter build. Not really useful if you just cycle.
I've had my Brompton now for about 2 months. So far, so good. The thing can fly and I regularly beat or catch-up to anyone on a regular bike.
Things I dislike about it:
- Taking it inside places is a gamble, but no one has ever told me off. I don't want to lock it outside if I can help it.
- Rolling it folded up is a bit difficult, need to upgrade the wheels.
- It gets dirty quickly
- My chain "snapped" - but I think I was being a retard in that I didn't fasten it properly after taking it off.
- Wheels need to be inflated more often. Under-inflated wheels are a big no no.
- Cobble streets suck.
- Can't really do casual shopping with it, maybe I will learn to lock it up better since it's just during the day, but I can't see myself hauling it everywhere.
Overall it's a fucking fun bike - I've done long journeys, the ride quality is excellent, very nice to fold up and take on public transport, and other Brompton people generally smile when they see a Brompton.
