Brompton owners

had to out do me! bet thats rad tho

Honestly I got it purely because it was black than performance.

Thanks both. It's a huge improvement on the Volt 400 or whatever the standard one is.

So it seems the v4 CHPT3 will be out fairly soon.
Not so sure about the colour way myself, correct me if I'm wrong but it's essentially just a P Line in a novelty colourway with tanwalls, at least pre P Line when superlighrs were harder to come by, the CHPT3 had a bit more of a special feel to it.

Colour means everything…

And the frame bag.. omg I must have one.. said probably a few people actually.

if anyones after a decent used brom I just finished up this revamp; pretty much all the mod cons fitted; brought right up to date and rides like a dream.

Classic Hobbs build; wider bars with ergo grips!

What's a good 165mm crankset to replace the standard brompton?

Buyers gonna buy (for ebay anyways).

Surprised they didn't venture straight to T-line for ultimate racers edition.

7800 Dura Ace

Doesn't that require a new BB? Plus it's not black.

Yeah, and? Get them anodized.

.

they are going with flat mount?! mad.

Yep, not coming out for another 3 years though...

Carbon fork.. electric rear hub..

I'm told it's an Alu fork

Gah…do not want!

Meh. Shame.

It looks more like a Rohloff hub.

Yet there is a battery bag on the front but the front hub doesn’t look like an electric one...

As an aside, is there some technical reason why the rear mudguard needs to be shorter if there is a rack fitted?

R type and l type blades are the same length?

Oh OK. I ask because 1) I remember, earlier in the thread, someone who was fitting a rack being advised to cut the rear guard shorter and 2) that guy on the prototype has been flinging some mud - but it might be because he doesn’t have the little angled bit on the rear guard and has been doing some off-road testing.

someone who was fitting a rack being advised to cut the rear guard shorter

Not a stock rack, so the flap .. flaps as the supporting bolt is about 30-40mm higher

that guy on the prototype has been flinging some mud

big tyres.. guards arent that far round

looks like a Rohloff

yeah I thought that at first, but (squints) I can't see a gearbox?

@sbbohr do you know what bearing size are needed to replace the front and rear hubsmith hub?

Front - can’t remember
Rear -MiniMODs version of the Hubsmith has
-2 x 6900
-1 x 6000
