Thank you both! Brommies are damn cool bicycles!! No, it's not new. I've had the Brompton since about 2012 or so. I bought it for a specific purpose, which didn't really work out. At that time, I bought it to be able to shunt from one bit of office buildings to another at work when I had meetings all over the place … driving to and fro, parking, etc, was consuming too much of the day. So I used it for that a couple of times … but at that time it was so painful to ride (because of my hip, et al), I just parked it in the closet and didn't use it. When my daily ride now was in the shop waiting for wheel bearings a few weeks back, I took the Brompton out and rediscovered it. My strength and riding skills have improved so much now that I did a 15 mile runaround to San Jose and back with it, no problem at all, and enjoyed every minute on it. Just FYI, I took this photo by setting up the iPhone 8 Plus on a table top tripod, fitting the Moment 18mm accessory lens, and using the Moment Bluetooth remote to trigger the shutter. It's at ISO 25 and is incredibly sharp … I think a 13x13 inch print is a conservative estimate of how large a print I can make of it, if I chose to. It's just the largest I can print on my Epson P600 in a square print. :-) G -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
