Brompton bikes
==============

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...
