Brompton owners

If anyone is after an M type stem maybe message me? I seem to have amassed maybe 5 of the things

Some examples of my hoarding…

@Rhobbs rough cost for swapping to a rohloff?

£1695 if the bike is supplied by customer. £2245 for mechanical discs

JK build, bang on, nice!

14 speed?

Yes sir! 526%

Expensive, but I could quite fancy it one day if I have the money

Check out kinetics web site for more pictures. It has been well thought out and designed and been perfected.

The railway staff can sod off though, if you are in the UK. Trains drivers are supposed to have route knowledge that means they aren't looking at red lights that aren't relevant to them including on platforms. It would be different someone like Belgium where they drive on sight alone, and have different signalling overlaps etc as a result.

Railway Rule Book excerpt:-

In an emergency you can stop a train by giving a hand danger
signal. Obviously this must be clearly visible to the driver.
In daylight, hold out a red flag or raise both arms above your head.
In darkness or poor visibility, shine a red light or wave any light
vigorously.

That is why they are not liked on platforms

What's the verdict on the e Brompton? A friend wants one and I pointed her to the namo instead, thoughts?

Also said strip from the Brompton factory today. One guy had a Brompton strapped to his back (not sure if it was a full bike). They all had little bike computers on the main frame and bags on the front but covered in a plastic bag. Didn't understand why, anyine know?

aftermarket kits are death. the fork just isnt designed for the motor. stick with the OE electric, as long as you have a decent shop, job done.

R+D I imagine

OK thanks, will let her know

I know sjs has 10% off all electrics currently and a H type ex demo for a bit less!

There are quite a few stuff in the works from Brompton, seen a few prototypes and can't say more than that! ;)

We should compare notes… ;)

Saw a lovely matt grey thing strapped to the back of one of the riders with an odd P sign lol

Release in a few days…

In need of an S type stem, any colour, can pay cash or have loads of m type stems, forks, triangles etc I can trade

new pump, new colours

New model of the Zefal, or something else entirely? I discovered my pump has rubbed the paint - I need to put a dab of enamel and some heli or electrical tape on there.

lezyne!

Nice pump, not a fan of the mounts

also, the new model names....

On the good news front my work has cycle scheme, however it looks like a b75 is probably all I can get. How much would it be to get a longer/ extending seat post or if it goes ahead would anyone have one for sale? I am also likely to get mudguards with the £150 up to the limit.

mudguards are £72 for the full kit, I have a spare telescopic seatpost !

B75, what new?
Thought they'd been discontinued!
