Whereabouts are you?
Have you tried Chris Compton Cycles in Catford?

Pre 2012 at least. Weird set up.

Milan Bryant / bobike seat to sell; both kids used from 6months-2.5/3 years

Fits new style (post 2017) m or h type, NOT S type. - angle too forward, kid falling forward..

£50

I'm in Brisbane, Australia. 🙃

Might be a long wait 'til the distro gets what I want in. I'll be in Europe in a few weeks but not sure if I can be fucked to bring a bike back home with me. Unless @coventry_eagle is offering me mate's rates, obvs. 😋

Available on their website, right now. So if you were to order from them, it would only be a handful of days. Your service location might be using the same system to order. [Ignore this statement, I have no idea how long it takes to get to Australia]

Local distributors may have varying degrees of different availability of course.

I saw that Balfe's have 23 P line with a small reduction

Always the way, pop in intending to spend £50, and next thing you know, you are dropping £1.5k.

Not sure that Brompton will deliver anywhere other than mainland UK.

Easy to deliver to a forwarder/forwarding company, I have done this a few times to help people out

Hi Sbbohr,
You don’t have a 1&1/8 Chris King grip nut conversion like this? Or know where I can buy one in the UK?
Thanks

@sbbohr What child seats and adapter combos work with recent S type bars? Ideally looking for something with straps/harness for a 1 yr old that might last a while. Could the bobike work with a different adapter?

£195-245?! Fuck that.
Joseph Kuosac £20

Seen people clamp on the bobike but it’s prone to moving side to side and down

Thanks but I already have a few spare Chris King headsets that I just need a grip nut converter for another Brompton. The last one I found was £55 but I can’t find anymore?

I know, right!! 😋

I'm actually buying it for my business, will be offering capacity building cycling day trips to my disabled clients, the ones who are able to use an unmodified bicycle anyway.

Maybe we should talk? 🤔

The young man serving me was stupid enough to leave the distro prices onscreen when we were going through the inventory. Nice fella, but a bit dim.

Maybe... ;)

Yeah, could still order that configuration. Bring it back and flip it?

I need it for work, mate!

Found in my dads bike shed:

1991 pricelist!

Custom frame colours cheaper than a basket ?!

What's the most reliable gear option for Brompton (other than single speed)?

I've never had to do any maintenance on my 2spd.

Has anyone used one of those Brompton hire locker things before? I fancy trying a Brompton out for a laugh and there's a locker down the road from my house. Anything to watch out for?

Be careful with the ones you use. There was one installed in NY that was part of a plot to get people to sign up with their bank or card details.

I signed up using the app so should be alright! Thanks for the heads up though.
