Just started a new job and they are buying me a new Brompton.
They have stipulated a couple of things that they want me to get so that I can pass the bike on at some point.
What they have specified is:
M type (U shaped handlebars)
6 speed
Version R - mudguards & rear rack
Plain black
Kevlar tyres
Battery light set
Touring pannier
But having spoken to my line manager, there's some leeway in this. Obviously the rack is removable and I can modify bits and bobs.
Ideally I'd get an S2L, but I think the 6 speed is a definite requirement, so am looking at S6R. No-one has what I need in stock, the closest being a P6R.
Is rear spacing different on the 6 speed version?
What is the different between the S type and P type front support, could a change of handlebars on a P give a similar riding position?
Also, I'm 5'11", would I need an extended seatpost?
