Brompton owners

Do you still have those levers?

Got lots... which ones specially?

Do they need to fit the new style shifters?

No, it's got a non brompton sturmey archer shifter on it. Just needs to work!

I have a pair of the aluminium ones then, RRP £30, £15 posted, not in perfect condition but perfectly working: will photo later

There you go

Want a replacement black headset for my Brompton, not gonna shell out for a Chris King because £€¥$... Sealed bearings would be nice... I'd happily go Campag if I could which would rule out black but, Campag!! What are my options?

Joseph Kuosac from sjscycles, sealed, £20, done.

Ace, I'll grab one of those assuming the postage to Oz isn't crippling, will I save on the VAT? Also... Are Joseph Kuosac M-type bars suitable for older Bromptons?

Plus you got any new style 6 speed levers in black knocking about? 😀

The mid rise bar will fit, but it depends what you want out of the change!

I have some spare shifter pods, but not black levers! Saving them for my project bike!

Deary me that's nice!

My bloody Brompton is now starting to do my nut in....

Take it to a shop then, there's so many factor involved that result in this.

So it begins

Wow. Black edition parts? Trispok?

#HHSBrompo

So many sexy Bromptons on the forum at the moment! I'd ride that! Look forward to seeing it built up

Mostly black edition parts. I’ve got an old Dura ace 7900 crankset I might try to make work along with a few other Dino kiddo bits and pieces. I just laced some black edition rims with silver spikes and hub which I think looks quite elegant.

Gonna luck great. Paint looks really clean and glossy, pro job?

@amey fitted some 7900 to his s2!

Also, which hubs? I have built loads of silver hubs on black rim/spokes, looks so good

I just want some black bars that'll work with my setup really... Can't get them over here... I'll put them in my cart with the headset and see what the shipping looks like...

I'll probably get the levers swapped over when I'm next in the UK, I almost did it a couple of years back and I'm kinda kicking myself for not doing it tbh...

Get yourself some renthals.

For how much?! JK bars are £20

These ones? https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/handlebars/joseph-kuosac-flat-handlebar-for-bromptons-254mm-clamp-black/

Are they good for S-type?

Yes, great for s type, 80mm wider, and more sweep. Great unless your tall, they make the bike feel too short for me at 6’1.

I have a pair of indentical ones from ergotec to sell £10

I’m 6’1

Personal preference, I like my bike to feel close to my cx bike, so they just feel a bit short!

Yeah I guess the sweep would straighten you up a bit.

I’d take the ergotec ones from you - I’ll pm you.
