Brompton owners

I'm just looking around to get a Brompton to quicken my commute... would really like to get an Orange Black Edition S2L but seems like everywhere is sold out. Does anyone have any idea if / when they are likely to bring out the ones for 2020?

The cost to change over stock parts is a little prohibitive given it's just cosmetic!

No more orange black editions.

Red, black, turkish, black lacquer due end of November.

SJS charge £250 to convert to black edition.

Welcome to Brompton

Just buy a frame ;)

Is that even an option? :-)

Shame there is no more black and orange!

Second hand yes, new only if fitted to an existing bike.

You can still get one if you really want one!

True, I'm just surprised it has been discontinued I guess!

With the conversion I guess it comes to around £1200 vs £1015 for the factory black edition? Plain black is looking more tempting :-)

Stock is £960, sjs black edition would be £1210, but you can obviously choose aftermarket parts and make cheaper upgrades and are not limited to stock colours... but can do things like flame lacquer or purple metallic black editions / custom paint.

Love these rims!

Maybe...

I forgot to chase you up about that rim - when are you next posting up to that there London?

Hopefully sending me some shit soon.

Lovely. No massive rush but I have the wife’s wheel here in need of an un-dinged rim...

Anyone got easy wheels they want to get rid of that will fit my S2L with mudguards but no rack?

Where do I send the money for the clips?

Yeah, in the next week or 2!

Smart ones or just ones that work?

Pm!

I've got some mint kojaks I want to trade for some marathons if anyone's keen

?

Are they any wider than the stock rims?

19 mm or 24mm options. 28 and 32 hole!

Further to looking at getting a new Brompton I think I'll go for the retro look with tempest blue and tan wall tyres.

Seems to be a mix of 2018, 2019 and 2020 bikes around (looking at new). Are there actually any differences between these models besides price? Any little tweaks/changes that are worth paying more for?

2018-2019 had new brakes, which have Allen key bolt and are the same rather than front and rear specific. I actually think the 2018 brakes function better though. 2020 new colours and 5% price rise.

As rolly as possible 😆 less bothered about neatness.

I have seen plenty with skateboard wheels, if your heel clears it its the best option imo
