Brompton owners

Trashford is one big poundland.

Yep, pretty much. They've put all their eggs in the Covenant Garden basket.

Does anybody want / need the Fizik saddle that came on Bromptons (maybe just black editions?) until recently? I think it’s an Aliante R7. Or a pair of as-new Brompton locking grips?

Rear triangle finally arrived the other day so today it got fitted.
M6L with a telescopic post now weighing in at 11.12kg
Still need to swap to the sealed superlight front wheel and thinking more about changing the bars as it's too upright for my liking.
Weight saving wise there's only really the mudguard stays and pedal bolt left that I could/would do.

How much for saddle posted?

Bottom bracket is a quick hundred grams off wouldn’t bother with ti stays they just bend; headset?

How does £20 sound?

Yeah wasn't gonna bother with the stays, even at cost it's not appealing for the saving.
What BB?

Including P&P?
Any photos (of saddle)?

yes, incl P&P.

I'll take it, sent you a PM.

Stick some HTII cranks on

Just noticed something on the Brompton (6 speed) - is it right that there is a short section of the derailleur cable exposed, along the chainstay right where the tyre is?

No? Send a photo…

Maybe it has been like this all along?

Short person problem, any recommendations of 165mm crankset for Brompton?

Have fitted thorn 140mm before, only thing to watch out for is that they aren’t too wide; you can fit most square taper jobs quite easily. Folding pedals won’t work tho

Thanks.

Follow up question, do you know if you can fit the mini Q rack with L rear mudguard, than buying the R version?

Yes, have done it before; need to add another hole to bolt the guard to the rack and you are often left one a spare hole to plug up.
