[RBW] Re: $1800 a fair price for a 53cm Susie? 2-piece silver crankset included

Its pretty much a new price with a free crank. If it were me I would probably wait for new ones to come in but if you need one now there aren't many out there so paying top dollar seems to be the name of the game. On Monday, July 12, 2021 at 12:58:31 PM UTC-4 Justin Kennedy (Brooklyn, NY)

Thought folks might be interested in my recent experience taking my Susie to Deer Valley lift-serviced downhill bike park. Overall it was highly enjoyable despite dealing with ridiculous bros. Got a ton of looks and comments, ranging from very positive ("Right on!", "Old school!", "Love it!")

Re: [RBW] brompton in airports and airlines

When I travelled internationally with a Brommie, I put it inside the Ikea tyvek bag you mentioned, with a bit of cardboard around it to provide some protection from bumps, etc. We had to check ours, however, possibly due to the fact there were two flights involved. Would be very curious to hear
