Cross posting from the Brompton thread, i started to collect a couple upgrades for the little bike.
Next up on the list are some Continental Contact Urban tyres, new black hinge clamps and probably a chainset swap (i've acquired some second hand 7701's for cheap some time ago).
Right now i'm torn between some bigger pedals (MKS ezy's probably) and some metal hardware (frame patches, pedal holder and hinge clamps) from Eerder.
I would like, in the long run, to get this bike built up with as little plastic bits as possible and some nice parts, made by people who really love what they do and work hard to bring something new/original/innovative to the market (like JK and Eerder, for example).
In the end it's just gonna be a steel H2L, nothing too drool-worthy or stupidly expensive, but i would love it to become the cumulative effort of my cycling experience and a bike where every component is somewhat of a "labour of love".
