fietsbob I have a (Taiwanese) folder and I'm specifically looking into a 'regular' bigger wheeled Dutch-style bike rather than another folder. I'm also looking to keep the cost <£1000 and Bromptons are expensive. The Pashley Princess Sovereign is about the upper end of my budget. I'm looking into bikes that will need as little care as possible even in winter and rainy weather, which is why the cheaper Gazelles are appealing. I'm taken by Bobbin bikes, but uncertain about the caliper brakes. But they're pretty popular and affordable.
@gresp15c I'll be bringing the bike in or it will eventually be stolen or dismantled for sure. Lifting the weight up and down stairs isn't an issue for me.
