Bromptons are all custom and have so many set ups, I’m currently working on one that stock, was 7.8kg before changing more stuff. There’s multiple bar types, seatpost lengths, tyres, gearing options bla bla bla, to say they are heavy and uncomfortable imo is not something I agree with, knowing people who ride them daily, including myself, people who have done 200mile + rides etc.
I’d love to do tcr on my little wheeler, As roger said, it’s just a fun bike to ride. I would never be fitting an Alfine though! Sucks he’s had those issues, but I love that he’s gone for something others will turn their nose up at!
