I really don't need one (who does) but I really do want one. I fully appreciate that this may just be me and the appeal may be limited for many but there's something about it.

I like it too
I said earlier in the year, I like mini velo and other such bikes. Like you suggest, I cant put my finger on exactly why

What's the idea behind that then? Like a BMX you can sit down on properly?

Mainly it's ease of packing / travelling.

Someone our way has something very similar except it looks like it's made from girders, I think it's an fat tyred ebike - It reminds me of a Brompton crossed with the Incredible Hulk. Actually, I don't think it has a triangle, so, in fact, it only looks like this one superficially.

I've seen one around me, looks unique, think it's one of these:

There is something very appealing about that bike for sure!

It has a certain Lada Niva about it - is that just me? That's meant as a compliment by the way!

Also.... this belongs here. Brompton really should do this
