  • if you are happy with it stock, great, otherwise its £££ to upgrade.

    They made a poor decision in my book, using the pre 2017 stem means the bike isnt upgradeable unless you want custom stuff.

    I did a sweet build for @Bodz but it was only worthwhile because we offset stock parts against new parts.

    SJSC3 at £799 with new style brakes, levers, shifter, and stem.

    It could be a great bike, but I think its just missed the mark.

  • I can’t find the SJSC3 - is it a special model?

    What’s non-upgradable about the pre-2017 stems?

    I think the B75 would be mostly OK stock, apart from the mudguards. I think ideally I’d want a lower front end because I run a reasonably aggressive position on my road bike. Perhaps I could compromise by running some of those mid-rise bars with the shorter B75 stem. Would a B75 stem with completely flat bars be unridably low?

  • SJSC3 is special yes. Any bar type/colour from the standard range.
    If you want guards its £845.
    Brompton do not allow "custom" bikes advertised, so its not on the site.

    B75;
    You need new bars / shifters / levers

    The old m stem is short and short reach, so flat bars = very low and very short.

    Mid rise bars work well, I’ll find a photo of the build before.

    Why not just buy an s type though? Your going to spend the same cash but have cheaper parts..
