The Brompton Folding Bicycle FAQ

An Independent User's Guide for the world's most practical vehicle
Dedicated to Richard Lighton.

Once here were HTML pages with an organized collection of mails to the Brompton-Talk mailing list from 1996 up to 2005 (with a few edits up to 2007).

Due to sharply increased popularity of March 2009, and a 1GB/month website limit, there is no more direct link to the HTML pages but only compressed archives. But you can get to the HTML pages by setting the url to 'brompton/chapters/'...

Giuliano Gavazzi has a direcly accessible copy of the section format at http://www.boox.net/topics/bicycles/external/stein.dommel.be/brompton/sections/.

But you'll find much more up to date info in a modern wiki version over at http://bromptontalk.wikispaces.com/.
