Brompton owners

From what I heard there will be quite a few changes for the CHPT3 to make the bike more racey (as possible)

The list I got so far is:

-The grey paintwork will be Matt black, but still keeping with the red front.
-No brooks saddle and instead replacing them will be frabic saddle and handlebar grips
-red suspension block which apparently will be stiffer
-new Schwalbe one tanwall tyres
-aluminium/thinner hinges instead of the plastic ones.

This is all subject to testing of course.

If I knew that offer was there I would have used my cycle to work scheme on you :(

You will have another one... dying to do a 11 speed da 9150 build with hydro disc and drop bar

Will that be able to fold?

Hell yes.

I’m close to drop barring my s2 but also trying to save every penny...

I know you need an Etap Brompton...

Sounds interesting to me..

There's one on the bay chpt3 what would be the reasonable price for that?

Lovely, ta!

Got to find some new bars...

Flat, no rise, less than 5deg sweep, black, 600mm

Help!!

Does it have to be 600mm?

I got these from ACE and they’re 560mm (crabon though)

yeah, ideally 580mm minumum, tempted by these ... https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/handlebars/ti-parts-workshop-straight-handlebar-6-deg-254mm-clamp-610mm-titanium/

But dont really want to spend that!

Does it come it black 😏

Re the Halfords selling Brommies issue, I hear that it’s going to be Cycle Republic, rather than the usual Halfords stores. Watch this space etc etc

Why, cos that bar won’t fit under the lift handrail?

Picky.

Same shit, different name...

Because it makes the bike too short for my preference.

Probably going to drop bar it anyhow

Rather excited ordered one from @maynardeames going to collect it on 13th.

For anyone that's interested, here's my 2014 S2LU Ti.
