For Sale: brompton front wheel, fork.

[edit: forks sold]

So I bought a brompton here (this one https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/315840/).

I've switched to a dynohub front wheel, so I have the front wheel for sale.

Pros:

• Lightweight brompification (?) front hub (I think it's this one: http://www.brompfication.com/53-bolt-on-front-hub.html). Total wheel weight is 490g on my scales.
  
• Rim is in good nick
  
• Butted spokes
  
  

Cons:

• I think the spokes are the wrong length (see picture, they're all like this). There's a lot of spoke thread showing, which makes me suspect they're not seated very well in the nipples. For peace of mind, you'd probably want to rebuild it with correct length spokes.
  
  

Hub new is 90USD, so say £30?

Forks now SOLD:

Ti (probably, they are very light) forks.

Pros:

• Light (290g)
  
  

Cons:

• These are not the Brompton forks, but some third-party copies.
  
• They don't have the same rake as the standard forks.
  
• They are longer from brake hole to dropout by almost 1cm. In my attempts, I could not avoid brake blocks rubbing on the tire when braking. So they might work if you could find some super long-drop brake calipers?
  
  

I don't really know how to price this, or indeed if it's worth anything. £50?

Pickup Tue-Thu SW7 (evenings SE27).

I'd prefer not to post, so you can have a look at the parts for yourself and make up your mind about them.
