Don't buy a Brompton

Much as I like my Brompton's foldiupness - mending a puncture especially the rear wheel is a nightmare. Considering it cost so much I am disappointed in the quality of the bits it is made of. Who was in charge of putting the blue plastic tape in the wheel? you need to spend a bit of time on the job and do it properly. Got to go work on the tube again tomorrow ( and buy a new blue plastic bit).
