Brompton owners

Do you have a custom customer, though? :)

This is sold to a custom customer!

Ah, and I was worried for a moment they might be perfectly generic. :)

No chance!

Just brilliant!

How does the back end feel with the extra width/weight? I suppose all that Ti would offset the weight somewhat?

Also, you noticed any discernible wear or lack thereof with the Ti and the rear hinge?

Anybody have a Brompton up for sale? Ideally a 2-speed S type!

Thanks!

It’s a little back heavy, but so is a 3/6 speed...

13kg is only 0.5 kg heavier than an s6r with lights / brooks / marathon tyres... so I’m happy with that.

The rear hinge will wear quicker, it’s a heavier hub and the customer will be using a trailer! Although she is only 55kg so that offsets it somewhat. The trailer is the biggest increaser.

The Vostok stuff is beautiful, and the owner, Sergey, has been the most helpful / involved via email and Facebook messages... which is unheard of for many suppliers!

Winter bike! Frame back from Kinetics shortly, got a spare BWR wheel, don’t think I’ll use it though..

@maynardeames, taking collection of a ti rear triangle on Tuesday, anything to look out for so I can confirm it’s a Brompton one rather than a J&L one? Before I part with the cash?

That’s very cool. Where was that pic taken?

Got some info of the sale?

Everywhere coppiThat goes becomes cool by definition. :)

What handlebar type... I’m just building one to sell shortly, currently a bare frameset so can be any speed / bar type you like...

I think I’d like a two speed S-type. But worried about the bars being too low, so perhaps S-type bars on a higher stem?

I shall PM!

How do those tyres hold up against p*nctures? Do you know if they're better than Kojaks?

Lower quality IMO

In terms of p*uncture protection, or just in general?

General!

Love you oliver.

@jj72 looks like it could be japan

Brian the cruiser is coming along, soon will be able to take little human out on a bike with decently wide bars and a suitable saddle height! (That’s a brompton, have other kiddo happy bikes!)

I went on the tube with mine and now can't shrug the idea that I was being "that guy".
