If you've been watching our channel from the start you might remember we used to have a couple of fold out bikes. We got them in the Netherlands when we first had Fair Isle, we loved having bikes but they took up virtually the whole sail locker and they rusted and fell apart surprisingly quickly. Worst of all though they weren't that great to ride. We always thought that was a necessary evil with fold out bikes & they just always felt a bit flimsy, not 'stiff'. Basically the joints never lock solid and the play in all the joints meant you could really feel you were on a fold out bike.
So it was a bit of an eye opener testing out a range of Brompton bikes when we were in Gibraltar. After riding a Brompton you know nothing else will do, so we are very happy that we've got the chance to try out some more of the range over a longer term.
Luckily for us being in Spain Brompton has a few of their T-Line models in Barcelona from a partnership they had with Britannia, the British Americas cup team which raced here two years ago when it was last held.
The T-line bikes are top of the range tungsten and carbon fibre bikes. They don't come cheap, but the will not rust, fold up to an really small size and are impossibly light, I mean really unbelievably light! So we've been having great fun riding them all over Barcelona. In fact it's been a bit like Christmas because we took advantage of the marinas delivery address to get a new True Kit dinghy as well, to go with the new Spirit 2 outboard we showed you last week, it really flies now, very happy with our new dingy set up!
