[https://lemmy.ca/post/53575254] > Just stumbled upon these bikes in Facebook
Marketplace. Turns out there’s a Toronto distributor selling them. Haven’t
looked into them too much but at a glance, they are a Brompton clone without the
proprietary stuff. I see standard cassettes, derailleurs and shifters. Standard
brakes, etc. And they’re priced closer to what a bike like that should cost.
"Designed in Canada.Builtfor movement"not in Canada.I never said it was built in Canada, I said its a Canadian company which is better than buying a brompton from a US company?
So as a clone, it wasn’t designed in Canada either. Supporting a Canadian retailer is ok, just very low on the totem pole.
Literally ANY of these would be better.
