After a string of unfortunate issues we finally have a pair of the
Brompton folding bikes (one for my wife and one for me). I exchanged
my black one (which was not available because of a COVID, the Brexit
and so on) for a black edition (so even more black) one. It looks
great with the Brooks leather saddle and the pair of matching (but
locally produced) grips. But I was told that the saddle is obviously
too uncomfortable ;-) I have no problem with it, by the way. I was a
bit shocked how my tyres look. For my wife I have got the basic
Schwalbe Marathon ones. They are actually fine and work well. But for
my one I selected the more expensive Schwalbe Kojak. They are actually
great, especially on roads but they really look as the head of
Inspector Kojak...
