Not sure of his username on here but on insta that's this guy - Colin

SA hub?

Sprinter, now srf3

Just saw your email. Will get that sorted tonight.

93 is about right I reckon. I bought it with my first ever overtime payment.

It’s a fab little bike, paint is pretty exceptional for the age, thanks for letting me work on it!

He made the tyres I posted a few pages back! Wished I had raced too!

Did your seatpost ever turn up? I ordered the same one (I think) and it was apparently sent back to the seller by the airline due to its excessive length!

It did, surprisingly quickly as well - ordered on Feb 23rd and delivered on March 7th

I've been meaning to loop back to this thread and report on it - but then there's not much to say - it looks just like the Brompton one, fits fine, doesn't slip and I've not noticed any issues whilst riding it

@sbbohr - got a customer with an older frame where the front hinge has worn so badly the front end is flopping about. Don’t think it’s repairable so will need a new main frame and front end. What ya got?

Hmmmm how bad is it?

New frame or new bike…

I wouldn’t ride it, put it that way. The rest of the bike has been updated with newer parts, so if you have a frame and front end, let me know.

Gotcha, don’t bin it if that’s it’s destiny I’m slowly covering the wall in dead frames…

I do have a frame, but it owes me a touch and I just bought a stem for it!

Got to order the wife some leather grips and some stock; bigger order is better so let me know if anyone’s looking for aftermarket Brompton parts and I’ll let you know what I can get for you!

Excellent. I would prefer to receive my order than cancel it so here's hoping it arrives!

2 brompton bags for sale! I'm getting a shiny new one suitable for first impressions for a new job, and am having a clear out of the old. Collection from London N1:

You gone for a new Borough waterproof? Got the wife one and it’s pretty nice! Apart from the stupid strap on the front we might cut off

Currently eyeing up a black edition 6 speed and wondered peoples thoughts on colour. Gloss black or Turkish Green??

Both look good but the gloss black as a bike is overall too dark imo unless tanwalls get put on.
Turkish green black edition looks banging and I think this every time one comes in to the shop

My thoughts exactly. Guess the partner put doubts in the mind when she said it looked “feminine”. Possibly an evil plot to get one for herself or steal this one should I get it

Black gloss and you just add colours if you fancy.

Also I don't want yet another one looking the same as mine so I'm gonna say get the Turkish

Easiest way to add colours (to the frame)? Had a search for vinyl wrap but didn't find much and not brave enough to get out a spray can

Powder coat!
