I bought one year ago a new Brompton S-Type with 6 speeds gear system [BWR]
3 speeds with internal hubs multiply by 2 rear sprockets.

From that time I do 2 times a week a training with my brompton, mostly saturday
and sunday.My last saturday I did 90kms. from Athens (Kalamaki) to Anavisso back and forward in 4h.48' unbeliavable !

Four hours training on a folding bike is a form of torture :) Do yourself and Brompton's a favour and get o proper road bike.

Well done though :)

A less known quality of Brompton is that it can take a BIG advantage of slipstreaming. ( driving very close behind a leading bicycle).
Since you sit generally lower than the leading rider but mainly due to the small diameter of the wheels, you may come VERY close to the front rider and take full advantage of the vacuum created by him...

I have done many times the same trip with my Brompton and some times in a peloton of road bike riders...

Try it if you get the chance. You will be impressed...( not to mention hoe impressed will be the road bike riders of the peloton...)
