Brompton owners

Oh thats crap.
Sadly I have no photos. Kind of nice to know it’s been in use all that time but a shame it should disappear, I bet he was quite attached to it.

Yeah. I was too. I often used it if I went over.

On the dull question of insurance:

An internet link or quotation to replace the bike on a like for like basis

Is the ML6 going to be the current replacement? It all seems to have got confusing, as does finding a link to a shop that sells them. Or may be I'm too tired.

Cheers

1,380 and yeah I'll write you a quote!

Got mine from fudges on Harrow rd - they had lots - also Lunar cycles in Kentish Town . But for insurance purposes why not just the official site . That’s what direct line did when my Marin was pinched ?

Core line explore mid bar I guess is direct like for like.

Argue the toss about upgrades tho - I did and increased from 750 to 1300 !

That would be awesome.

I'll drop you a pm.

Sorry I meant what is a T6 in the new Brompton naming configuration?

C line Explore?

Edit: Core Line Explore High Bar

Mid bar not high bar ?

What's the difference? Is the high bar super high?

I might be mistakenly assuming that the bars were higher because the one that got nicked before this one was an S/flat bar.

Anyway I think a quote listing the upgrades is worth it as they add up. The last one was stolen outside the butchers just after my dad had bought a load of expensive fish and they covered the fish bill!

Hi

Any particular make or model more suitable for taller riders ( 2 m )?
Any models more suited to going a bit faster than others? any stability issues at speed?

Thanks so much, sorry for the numpty questions, I am very much a beginner Bromptonite !

any stability issues at speed?

The steering is noticeably more “twitchy”, takes a couple of corners to relearn that from a standard bike. In my experience potholes, kerbs etc are much more of a worry on a Brompton, even at relatively slow speeds. The low gearing means you’ll only ever get up real speed down hills.
