Brompton S1E Raw Laquer + Satchel - **SOLD**

I flirted with selling this a few months ago but at the time it didn't make sense.

A move of job, office location and amenities means that although this bike is still absolutely awesome and the most fun I've ever had on two wheels, its going to end up sitting unused.

In London its the ultimate commuter and this is a pair of mudguards away from being a 4seasons workhorse.

Other than competing in the folding bike race at the Rapha Nocturne its only seen very very light use between Shoreditch and The City, and as most people know, i dont ride in the rain....

Its a 2016 bike and i have the original purchase documents; spec is listed below but some basics include a Brooks B17, all black extended seatpost (i'll include the original silver also), schwalbe Kojaks, and some less than basics are a lot of additional Ti frame components, updated easy wheels etc, which cost a disproportionately huge amount of money! I'll also include all the originals which are barely used as i swapped them when i first got the bike.

SOLD

Good price

Probably the nicest looking brompton frame in my opinion

If this was 3 speed it would've been hard to resist.

I particularly like the singlespeed, as it doesn't make half the noise a geared brompton does - there is a certain romance to that brompton gear 'click' but, particularly with the kojacks, this just cruises along silently and effortlessly.

How easy is it to convert to 2-speed?

At the moment are you just running one cog + spacer, or is it a totally different hub?

Also why is everyone selling Bromptons at the mo!? it's the only true #bike4life

Last week it was a pompino wave

It's a 2-speed hub with a spacer

The upgrade kit is about £50

I love brompton for specifically grouping parts in these kind of kits for common upgrades.

I looked at converting to 2speed for my GF but she doesn't do bike any more.

SOLD

@Dick I'd be interested in those upgrade hinges, luggage and black extended seatpost :)

@Dick Interested in the handlebar catcher and easy wheels. Ti hinges too if Tenderloin doesn't not want/need.

@frankohara @Tenderloin you probably wouldn't be suprised at the price of those bits - I'm hoping they bring some serious value to whoever buys the full bike here on LFGSS.

If it comes to the end of the weekend and it still hasn't sold I'll consider splitting the Ti pieces and restoring the bike to stock spec to list on eBay.

I'd really prefer someone to buy here and get the benefit of circa. £250 of extras on top of that £1155 RRP!

It's a great deal as a complete - I bought the same bike but 3spd last weekend! :)

Pm'd

consider swaps / trades? Got a bunch of nice things I need gone but could do with a brompt now I've shifted the airnimal.

Very good price. Ti parts make it an even better deal!

I may be interested in the stock bike if other take seatpost and Ti bits.
