Brompton owners

what type do you fancy?

But is it lighter?

Milk or dark chocolate biscuits or Jammy Dodgers? Or something else?

You've just reminded me of how much weight I've put on over the last couple of months... 🐖

It will go...are you cycling, walking or using a turbo?

Rear racks for a Brompton that’ll fit a 135mm rear triangle disk conversion.

Not something that I’ll need all the time necessarily so don’t want something too spendy or too hard to affix for those few times a year it’s taken on/off.

Anyone have experience with these? https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/carriers-racks/rjt-q-type-rear-rack-for-folding-bike-black/

You will need to stretch it open - I haven’t done this to date. The only other one I know is lovely is the Vostok one. - haven’t checked our stock though!

The stock one, or the nitro ones go on okay with a tiny bit of encouragement too.

I've just built up a road bike but been too sick to ride the last few weeks, I've been driving around in the Suby... Ergo le gut...

I have a new road bike too but used it on a turbo which is ok for 30 minutes...walking is good but not if you are unwell...your weight will drop when you are feeling better.

M or S. Colour doesn't matter

Interesting way to install BB... ;)

Hate those shit bbs. £15?! No chance.

I always fit Sunrace ones with aluminium cups

Not the super Ti BBs?

Not for me. Fag fitting is 12 years out of date. Plus I’m about function, feel and then form. Superlight is not me!

Friend has some kinetics forks, triangle and a ti frame/post up on eBay;

Your friend's titanium main frame with a ti stem and Jtek ti seatpost is going for £799.

?

An amazing price for all that.

What’s the provenance of the Easyti full titanium frame, any one know? Is this made under licence from Brompton or is it a full blown design copy?

It’s pretty good, £200 seatpost...

No no it’s a total copy.

Thanks. What’s the approx weight advantage of this one over steel, do you know?

I bought the seatpost...£100 plus postage.

The seat post is still being advertised as part of the package. Naughty.

I asked if he would sell the seatpost separately and he did...I am sure he will update his auction as he has probably overlooked doing it.

Speaking to Ben at Kinetics about Chinese Brompton main frames...he says he has never seen one as mentioned above the Ti main frames are unlicensed...so taking a risk in buying one...I personally will stick with a Brompton main frame and stem.
