I've been stalking @HoKe 's Brompton tweaking since day one.

Financially? No, not at all. But then it wouldn't make financial sense for a LWB either. This is going to be another money>sense build.

more in terms of age of stuff, ride quality etc...

Brommers in reply to @Rhobbs

The only stuff from the old bike going on the new bike will be the frame, forks, stem and rear triangle, albeit after some minor and not-so-minor modifications. Everything else will be new. As for ride quality, I didn't even notice it was a SWB model until I started stripping it down. Even when I used to switch between Tatty Old SWS Brompton and my lots-of-titanium LWB model on a daily basis I've never noticed the difference in terms of ride quality or handling.

There is quite a big difference in my experience, but cool to see people going for a custom build!

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
