Brompton owners

New bike day... strip everything and rebuild.

Headset to do, and oddly my 60t hits this rear End when folded...

Also going to relace the front wheel radial and give it a damn good clean! Also want some 580/600mm bars that are straight not 12deg back as it just shortens it too much!

Got my mechanic to switch out all the tyres for me!

upgrade time is coming, what bb would I need to swap over my sugino 75's?
this one

or something else?

Wait 6 weeks for Ti seatpost and seller just cancelled the order, ffs!

Sjs have a sale on their ti seatposts. Most of the normal sized ones are discounted..

If you still have the Kojaks, I'll take them off you for the asking price.

Which Kojaks are that much RRP?

But your cranks are ISO... Don't listen to that twit who insists Sugino 75s have a proprietary taper, absolute rubbish...

Will someone swap a new model S Bag with Cover and Frame for my new T Bag with Cover and Frame. Love it but it is just too big for my needs. Bag is in very good condition, ideally looking for the same in London but happy to post if it comes to it. Thanks!

Always check the weight. I bought one that was supposed to be titanium but it felt heavier than my previous post. Good investment though, makes a massive difference.

So nice.

Yeah - the one I ordered had lots of positive reviews etc but annoying that it got cancelled after waiting a month. I’ve ordered another one and some quick release Ti pedals

Who from?

I saw one of those in Vauxhall about an hour ago, looks much nicer in the flesh

I am (gently) gutted. I bought a new Brompton over here at the end of last year. GIven that I am in Amsterdam I got an Orange one, but I wish I had hung back and got that one.. Not least as I live around the nine streets :-)

After an accident in spring encouraged me to slow down my riding for a while to recover, I made the decision to buy a Brompton (S2L) over summer. I'm enjoying it a lot.. a lot more than I thought was possible. I'm thinking of taking it with me on holiday later this month on a plane - and the B&W folding box seems like a sensible idea. Has anyone got any good or bad experiences of this, or any better suggestions?

A few things I'd consider with that one. It's pretty heavy so if you're planning to use that as your only luggage you won't get much more in it. It's also quite big, it's too big for standard hold luggage for some airlines and a lot of airlines don't do free sports equipment luggage any more.

I would get the suitcase version than the standard box IMHO

But your cranks are ISO... Don't listen to that twit who insists Sugino 75s have a proprietary taper, absolute rubbish...

new colours are nice esp this:

The hard case is way better.

Anyone knows if ODI longneck grips work on Brompton handlebars?

Is this titanium seatpost too good to be true?
