Well, there's still things I'm going to change/add/tweak on it. It needs the front luggage block adding, and I'd like to add a height stop to the seatpost. Generally though it's what I wanted - a lighter and faster Brompton than I had already. There are a few niggles at the moment, which I don't think will take me long to sort, but the only real doubt in my mind at the moment is the 5 speed hub. It seems very sensitive to cable tension adjustments and while I've now managed to get all 5 gears I'm still not entirely happy with it. But other than that, it's all good.
It's on the same way as the rear tyre, which I thought was right. Will check though. Still unconvinced it makes the slightest bit of difference on road tyres, but I might as well get it 'right'.
