  • Pimp it .... or Rat it?

  • That frame deserves, no...must be pimped.

  • pimp that shit son

  • Rat it. There are plenty of fancy raw lacquer bromptons, so why follow when you can lead? ;-)

  • Well - This one will be a bit different.

    I will be building new wheels on nice sealed bearing BMX hubs - the rear is 112mm so close enough to a BMX 110mm. The front hub is the challenge because it measures 73mm OLD!

    I think I can grind down the bearing caps on this 100mm hub to make it fit ... Thoughts?

  • I'm also left a bit cold by brompton's ghastly plastic tensioner.

    I fancy using this ( as I have one in my tool box)

    But I will probably need to braze on a mech hanger!

  • Which way round does the chain tension go on a Brompton?

    Tighter when it's unfolded / looser folded? Or the otherway around?

  • Twin spok

  • Front spok, rear disc.
