Brompton owners

Is that @umop3pisdn?

Is it the newest Brompton colourway?

pls, I can't grow facial hair like that

Next projext, gfs m6 to and s2, it’s currently an m3, and then we will build a spare parts build m3 for carrying the little human/errands!

Thanks for clarifying, this was where I was getting confused.

If I stay onto of the rear triangle hinge bush maintenance, I should be OK for a good while.

and his legs are not shaved!!!!

Hair in all the wrong places!!

Looks like a 9 Streets yeah, they’re so nice IRL, dream paint job.

Considering they’re all spec’d with the shimano dynamo kit I’m not sure it would be my first choice for a hill climb.

Are you using the Brompton chainring or your 60? Wondering what a Brompton chainring and guard looks like on 7800s.

Also, why the mtb hollowtech? 68 spaced innit? And the mtb hollowtech is slightly wider than the road?

My 58, but I can put the Brompton ring on for a pic if you'd like?

MTB BB as apparently the DS needs to be spaced out 3-4mm. MTB cups are actually 1mm shallower than road cups so you get a bit more wiggle room. Following this.

Is there a difference between L type and R type mudguard stays? Was gonna grab some black ones off eBay (titanium too!) for cheapz, blurb says they have both but only L shows up on the drop down menu... Anyone else tried these?

L type for no rack and R type for rack.

Ah,,,, So it’s just a photoshoot with a model and fake race number then not an actual hill climb that took place somewhere else.

Sorry if I missed something

That's obviously what I thought but I can't find R type stays for sale anywhere... Do they even exist?

Which lead me to make the point, are they the same thing if you can't buy R type stays?

well no, the guard fits straight to the rack

Bang! I should've checked my bike before asking, nice... Just need the front stay then... Also having trouble locating rack stays over here, massive PITA when I can't buy outside the territory I'm in...

Try Evans, from the hinge chat doesn’t sound like they’ve got any issues breaking the rules?

Marketing for the new bikes.

Yeah I get your frustration, do you not have local dealers?

I do but massive holes in their inventory, e.g. I can get black forward rack stays but not the rears... Ugh... I may just rattlecan the mudguard stay if I can't find one, that eBay shop only has full sets in black...

Got myself a little black single geared number for beach front cruising the 6peed Jobbie ideal for a 6 mile daily commute
These babies are a lifesaver for my knackered knees

Yeah, they'r great. I wish my dad would use his more. He can hardly walk and has dementia, but when he rides his bike, he's a different man with a big smile on his face.

Thar she blows. Only the 1 BB spacer in the end, and the ring in the outer position.

I need to get my cranks sorted, that looks great...

Has anyone encountered an issue with the front mount light where the black mount is loose, even when it both bolts are tighten up to its limit?
