used the levers before? fitted a set to this project im doing for a friend and they feel terrible, only way I can get some brake feel is to pull the lever in with the adjuster halfway to the bar...

sell it and buy a 2004+ model

Haha - they look like they feel terrible if I’m honest!

Got a few pairs of all black back ups just in case!

Just get some black Kojaks - Kojaks all year round

glad its not just me!

Tempted to go round slashing marathon tyres, horrible things!

I know the frame changed as well but I’d rather just do the bits one by one as and when. It was a cheap bike so I’m not losing money.

everything has changed...

I've got some already #buyer

So I can’t fit a new handlebar, brake levers or chainset?

Of course, but it can be quite faffy

Terrible things

if only we could stop the sale of them ... just a click of a button :')

If it wasn’t so bloody difficult to make normal road calipers work on a brompton then this bad boy would have had EE’s a long time ago.

For the meantime, the EEs can rest easy on the CAAD12.

ciamillo can fuck off

You can take your pauls and fuck off!

:-) so is there a recommended chainset/BB?

The newer style Brompton one would would suitably

And your Sora....

Was about to suggest this!

I'm in business, now to get the 75s off my Roberts... Which is still in a box somewhere...

Has anyone taken their Brompton on he Eurostar before? Is it as easy as getting a bike bag and rolling it as luggage on board or do you need to book it in advance like a proper bike?
