  • having a brompton bag crisis.

    having finally caught up with the real world and the delights of front mounted cargo on my commuter... the brompton needs the same treatment.

    Do I put my wizard works on an adapter frame? do I go restrap? Should I go full-kit-wanker on my showroom standard brompton with a brompton bag? roll top large or large basket bag? full custom something or other from somebody with needle and thread skills?

    ...any one selling anything?

  • I’ve got a Brompton T bag from c2015 and although it’s mucky it’s still going strong.
    I’d personally get one of their roll top boughs(?) not too spendy for when you leave it on the train platform in your haste to get home. Mine was still there 5 mins later when I returned:)

  • I've got the Brompton basket bag on my p line; would recommend.

  • Having tried some options I’m of the opinion that the Brompton bags on a Brompton just work, and there’s not much point trying to find something else that’s never quite as good. That said, something from Carradice or UPSO would be tempting, but I have no need to change from an O bag or the (now discontinued) roll too wax canvas bag that Brompton sell.

  • I was in a similar position a while back. I had a T bag previously and was really happy with it (quality was great and it endured daily use) but I always found it slightly too big for everyday needs. I recently purchased a second hand medium Brompton Borough Roll Top, and it seems the perfect size for daily use (spare top, repair kit, lunch box and a few bit and bobs). Only areas for improvement would be the straps (not as durable as the T ones) and the net side pockets (being a bit thin). But it is pretty close to the perfect daily bag, and it can be found for a £100 secondhand
