Brompton owners

How many stems are there?

Or is the difference just in the handlebars?

S
M pre 2017
M post 2017
H pre 2017
H post 2017
P - discontinued

M and H type bars are the same.

S being shortest?

Found a diagram. Not as easy as that is it?

Mrs m_v is thinking she might cycle to work when she comes off furlough but was worried about locking a bike up in town, might be the excuse I've been looking for to add a Brommy to the fleet.

She is just barely 5ft, I'm 6'2, so I'm thinking that a front end that's sporty for me would be pretty relaxed for her?

Kind of worried that M will put the bars too high compared to where she'd need the seat and that S might make it too long though. Guess we'll have to wait till we can visit bikeshops and try them.

Pre 2017 m is the shortest in height and reach - thats whats on a B75, so get that, then put some kuosac mid rise bars on?

@Bodz has this and its fucking awesome... right?

I'm 6', my other half is 5'. She rides my M bars without any trouble.

Pre 2017 m is the shortest in height and reach

Yeah I don't think short will bother me. Probably rather it was short for me than long for her.

Ok cool. Good stuff.

Standard 2017+ m with Kuosacs then,

Right!

Perfect height for me with the mid-rise bars.

I’ll post a picture later on..

@Rhobbs asked you this question before, but my friend has asked for clarification.
Child seats on a Brompton, we’re talking bobike mini

https://bobike.com/en/product/cat/frontseats

attached to a milian pere bar

https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/frames/milian-pere-child-seat-mount-only-for-folding-bike/

It’s for a toddler about 2 1/2.

Is this still the go to? And will it work on any Brompton, think my mate has an s.

Thanks

You want the milian Bryant adapter but only for m/h.

On an s type kiddo will be falling forward.

Other wise use the pole and hope they hold on!

can you swap handlebars on an S for a M or H? Or would you need to swap stem as well?

You can fit any handlebars but it’s the stem that causes the issue

So to make the bobike and pere work he’d need a Brompton with a M or a H stem. Either retro fitting a stem to his or buying an M or H Brompton?

Yes, could go s bar on a h stem, I have a spare h stem

How much? And how much to fit approximately? My friends London based so probably won’t be sending his bike to you to fit.

I’ll send you a message so I can run through fitting etc

Also what kid seats will work with the milian pere on the Brompton?

Any! Just need an old school seatclamp, passport make one for £1.99!

I find a straight bar on an H stem works very well.

Today’s fun.

Is that orange or golden?

orange, less punchy in that photo

Got a Ti rear triangle to move on if anyone’s got cash dollars

Don't if anybody can answer this...Would a Paul Components Klamper short pull disc brake caliper fit on a Kinetic Zona front fork or Kinetic rear triangle?
