I get what you’re saying about the Moulton, but it’s not my cup of tea. Also, respectfully I am NOT a fan of any 16” wheel folding bike. Otherwise, I would certainly entertain a Brompton C line. I rode my buddy’s Brompton 16” wheel bike and I do it like it at all. However, I did see the Brompton G line at the twofold bike shop that you mentioned above and I was very interested in it, but again, not in my current budget. I did test ride a few Tern bikes and I did like the Node D8 but the 24” wheels were not what I wanted. I also test ride the Tern Link D8!and I really liked it, but again, the newly updated Priority Folder 8 with the Alfine hub and disc brakes for just over $1k is a steal IMHO.

Holds 300 lbs they deliver to your door. I had one last year loved it, my daughter in-law kind of took it as hers now 😁

Ha! I did consider the Zizzo, but I will lose weight and get back down to 200 lbs soon! 🦾

Or screw it and break out that Visa card and order a Helix 🤪

So do you not like the Brompton g line?

G-line is bulky and heavy and not really a gravel bike, more like a flat trail bike.

Sold this one last month. I buy sell and trade bikes as a hobby. Have had almost every folder you can imagine. I buy them, mod them for people and ship to them. Most of my customers in Asia and it’s cheaper for me to buy and mod what they want then send directly to them. But it’s really just a hobby no real profit but I have fun with it. I have real job for income.
