Thanks Ron for the post..Boardwalk has 7 gears now I believe which may be upgradable to 8 or 9 depending on the hub..I am thinking of one to take back to the UK..Chances are the spares for the Boardwalk 20 inch are much the same..I have a Brompton at home but used to have a BF Tikit..Hoping the Boardwalk 16 can come close to feeling like a Tikit..My Brompton is nice but the wide gap between each gear spoils it slightly plus rear wheel punctures are no fun..
