I have a list somewhere but a quick rundown of common things as follows;
tyre pressures.
brakes are likely to feel okay but the cables wont be stretched/bedded, give both brakes a really good pull, wind in the barrels on the levers and reset at the brake.
brake pads likely to be lose
stop disc / brake backing bolts
left crank bolt
chain ring bolts
rear wheel bolt under tensioner
seatclamp 1/2 turn
handlebar catch bolt 6mm on top of fork
indicator chain not backed off correctly
headset not backed off correctlyI would check every nut bolt and fixture; I will do some more on this / maybe a video in the future.

Picking up a brand new 6 speed Brompton tomorrow. New because a discount makes it the same price as second hand. Unboxing myself because bought from a chain and dont trust them. Anything I should look out for peculiar to a brand new Brompton please?
Also anyone know the max distance of the 60cm extended seatpost from centre BB to saddle rail please? Used telescopic seatposts in the past but wonder if an extended seatpost will work for me?
Thanks
