Brompton owners

I'll PM you later with my task and we can do the logistical stuff after that.

Ideal!

Fire me an email via my website is easiest for me!

Legit! I would too if the bearing press is unavailable.

Anyone have any storage solutions for Brompton beyond the IKEA Kallax? Looking for something a bit slimmer line.

how can it be slimmer? physically or aesthetically?

Closer to the wall, the Kallax is deeper than a single bike

Kallax + You can pick up a mains circular saw for as little as £30.00 = Slimmer solution.

Probably worth posting in this thread too:

Good luck with the venture!

That may well be the only option.

Don't do it! It’ll make a mess!!
The Kallax is mainly hollow filled with corrugated paper for lightness and strength.
I've cut down a larger shelving unit previously in height but wouldn't trying to make it slimmer.

Thanks!

I made the mistake of buying a plywood table top from Ikea, and then using a jigsaw to cut a semi-circle out of it to make it into a jeweller's workbench.
It wasn't until I got to the end of the cut that it became apparent that it was hollow and internally had an egg box-like construction.
I was not pleased, and did eventually get Ikea to give me my money back on the basis that nowhere did it say that it wasn't solid plywood.

Constant pondering about what Brompton I should build for myself…

Next brain wave,

Anyone selling the front light mount for a cateye light? Or is it better to modify a dynamo light mount as some of the internet folks says.

You can try to reshape a dynamo bracket so it clears the FCB.
I prefer this bracket from BikeGang.

Sick paint is sick. Like a much more colourful version of our newly discovered under (up to 11 layers of) wallpaper 1880's rag rolled walls.

Excellent, thank you sir (plus it comes in black too)
