  • Only asking as my other half wants a Brompton (after see saw the video of people angel grinding a D-lock off the rack ) also because as it looks very likely the ‘lightweight’ one won’t come out anytime soon. She is tiny though at 4ft11 and would small hands and is worried about reaching the brake levers.

  • I’d use an older m type with a flat bar then, s type be too long and high.

    How light does it need to be? How many gears?

  • This was my thought as well.

    Is there an alternative for brakes with smaller hands?

    Not too sure yet, Ideally around 8kg would be great which means around 2 gears no?

  • Hack a 2 speed to 3 to save some weight instead of a conventional 3 speed?
