Mrs Hobs has been considering a Brompton for a while, but the combination of strong used prices, no C2W option and concerns about lugging the relatively high build weights (as a portion of body mass) have stopped N+1.
That was until this, inspiring us to build a clone with Chinese parts.
Aiming for a sub 8kg build with guards, Mrs Hobs is particularly keen on disc brakes and ridiculously unnecessary carbon wheels.
I'm aware of @HoKe's build, has anyone here attempted similar and has any words of warning?
