I own 2 Bromptons. One is the 2015 black edition in white. I had a modified bar installed that splits the difference between an S bar and the M. I recently bought a used M6L on eBay in raw lacquer. I'm looking to have that retrofitted with the new 2017 M bar and shifters. I'm looking at some other mods like the clamps and handles (probably calling them the wrong names). I really like the ride for tooling around on. Yes it is a bit twitchy in handling but I accept that in this bike. The fold is so impressive I can take it anywhere in the car very easily. I'm also interested if there is a Brompton owners site to visit. I haven't found one on the web yet.
