Suspension, pedals won’t be greased from factory, cranks / chainring bolts won’t be torqued from factory…

Will get some photos later, 110 posted?

Pretty much unworn brake surface and was given a true and hub service before taken off the bike.

Let me know.

I'll bow out in advance, having just spent a chunk on the bike, I should probably get some use as it is before spending more

Is that a question or a request?

Neither

Yeah I’ve got a 2 speed hub I think lemme check

Can anyone recall offhand the type of bearings in a 2 speed hub? Mine are shot and I can’t be arsed to take it apart just to find the numbers. Ta!

I found the M bars too high and put some flat bars on mine. The riding position feels better but it's very twitchy and I'm now on the lookout for some mid-rise bars.

I went from flat bars to the Joseph Kuosac mid-rise bars, much better IMHO.

My tuppence worth, brought an s type, rode it for six months, then swapped out the flat bars for some renthal risers, which are equivalent to a mid rise. Much better riding experience, haven’t looked back.

Where did you bring it from? 😁

Ahh! I see what you’re getting at.
I see it and shrug, meh!

Lovely, ta!

Do you get to wear rainbow bands for the commute if you win?

Now I really want to win.

For sale .
Brompton basket bag £45

It’s in really great condition, having not really been used, just stored in a shed. It does have a very small repair as can be seen in the last photo, it had a really tiny hole in the bottom corner.

Thanks for the bag suggestions all. Went with the non-waterproof roll top for now, but not loving it…

I had this - it was the folding pedal.

Guys, what is the go-to 2-to-3 speed conversion these days?

I have an S2L which is currently set up as a single speed (by the previous owner) and want to convert it to a 3-speed. I have the original derailleur, spring etc but will probably just buy a whole new set as they don't seem expensive.

I read the Sunrise M90 friction thumb shifter is a good one for a 3-spd conversion, but which cogs and circlips do people use these days?

Does anybody have a Brompton Rack Bag they’d like to get rid of?
