A poor argument, Steven, given the nonstandard nature of much of the
Brompton's design. While that's necessary to make it do what it does,
it does create a number of problems with retrofitting things like
generator hubs. However, bottle generators work just fine on Bromptons
and are quite popular in the UK.
