I am about to strip and get powder coated an old Brompton frame. Ideally I'd like to separate all the frame parts (inc main and stem hinges), getting them apart is quite straightforward (drill and a drift), but refitting ideally should use the right tool

One of these

Good luck!

When I painted mine I decided it was easier to just get someone to do the pins but actually that proved a little difficult in itself as my bits sat in Ben's (Kinetics) workshop for several weeks while he repeatedly told me "a couple of days" everytime I enquired. Eventually I gave up, fetched them back and sent them to @sbbohr who turned it all round super quick. Alas he's no longer in the industry but I'm sure he'd be able to recommend someone to do it for you.

Ironically, I know @sbbohr quite well, he may be my saviour yet :)

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
