Totally get that, and it was more an expression of me being eager for more. :)

It's nice, looks clean, and good questions. Wouldn't have minded having five rather than three!

I expect the answer is yes with caveats, but the combination of lead times, currently limited manufacturing ability, and uncertainty about how demand will develop, mean it might take a while. My guess is the middle and low end will ultimately come down in price again, but the top end might not. At the same time, the middle is pretty capable now.

I love my Brompton, expensive as it was. Every time there is a break-in in the bike storage room, I am grateful I can store mine inside.

Still, even though I've had it for years, I always feel awkward about bringing it in to a cafe or similar, and almost never do it.
