Brompton owners

Very old forum joke. It’s like stripy paint or fork handles.

Anyone got a telescopic seatpost for sale?

Hello Hoke, I have a telescopic seatpost. I can't believe this is for you, or have you suddenly grown lots? Send me a pm.

I’ve just added some bags, the plant is permanent btw

It’s more of a front bag garden … growing fruit and veg etc…. Like a Brompton allotment..
(Jeez I’m a T$¥T)

Quite excited for new Brompton day today.

2 x C-line electrics in coming for commute and general weekend transport around Cardiff ( not super hilly but went electric to hopefully allow off bike and into surgery without getting sweaty and showering at work).

They are fun, biggest downside is the weight if you're carrying them around.

Recommendations for SE London store to get a seat-tube liner replaced?

Quick blast around town has indeed confirmed they are fucking brilliant.

Superb. Is this Brompto 'Chips'?

Chris Compton Cycles, just off the South Circ in Catford.

Agree with @JurekB - mine's going in for the same job at Compton Cycles, which is where I bought it from originally, on Monday.

also agree, mine got the sleeve done a couple months back at Compton - quick, good & local (to me!)

I got this

That @general_greyharbour very kindly sent through to me.

Had a few goes at working out where it went and which way round and I may give it a slight sand to make it a little smoother but does the job great

The unfolding whilst wheeling has bugged me for years and it's such a simple solution.

I had to go the 5miles to the petrol station to get some fuel for the lawnmower this morning, so of course I took the Brompton. The perfect tool for the job. As it’s the only bike I’ve got with a bag big enough to hold the jerry can, Lilybook stolen my pizza rack for one of her bikes.

Nice one.
Glad it did the trick.

Ace, thanks for the recommendation for Compton Cycles all, that's perfect.

How can Brompton charge £106 for the black telescopic seat post when the extended is pretty much a third of the price? Madness.

I met the Brompton legend that is @HoKe this am.
All will be pleased to know that he has reverted to aluminium rims...

Yeah, after my wheels exploded using tubolito inner tubes I’ve revert back to aluminium rims (mini-mod) from Brompton man Ryan.

Brompton also charge £40+ for their handlebars… I import jk for £25 and they are lighter, wider, nicer finish and have graphics…

Nice wheels pal!

Damn, how'd that happen. Got pics lol?

Further up in thread I think, looked gruesome.

Yikes! Of course it would be overheating with a tpu (and true with latex) tube.
