We can of course build what ever you like!

Yes, yes, YES!!!!!
Can these be destickered or can you get them with black decals?
When's payday Ho?

I am actually sorting out the black graphics now, question is, do we stock both or just black/raw?!

I've had a pair of them sitting in the living room for the last 2 years. Must build them up into wheels one day.

Come on! #Bromptonracesquad

I've still got a lot to do on that project. Finish stripping the frame, smooth the brazing and add some new fixtures, get it chromed, work out whether I can use the guts from a Di2 mech to operate a Brompton 3 speed derailleur...

That needs a project thread

smooth the brazes?! are loosing your mind..

I've often wondered how silly I'd look on a Brompton, as Millar is 10cm shorter I now have an idea!

you just need a telescopic and p type stem / flat bars!

Desperate play for a blue peter badge I reckon

Do you mean those cateye fork mounts for the Brompton? Most of the places I see that sell them online have them as 'out of stock'! I had to hack a Brompton front dynamo fitting with a Cateye centre fork mount.

Hahaha people aren’t buying them! 2 sets have gone to London, and we are building up a few custom ones...

When I actually get round to starting it, it'll have one.

I've made a fillet brazed frame before. I like filing brazed joints.

I read this as I like blazing joints :)

Aye me too, but for me, the beauty is seeing the waves, then you can see the quality of the braze, anyone can muller a load on a file it back!

I've already got a bare lacquer frame for admiring brazing artistry. TBH, the brazing on the project frame is nothing to write home about. It's a SWB model so it's pretty old from Brompton's early days.

I see! Makes sense to modify them!

Another upgrade/bling component towards the daily workhorse, decided to take @maynardeames idea and brought a CK spurcycle Bell, and dang is it loud! Super happy with this this little purchase especially has the colour matches with the CHPT3 quite nicely:

Now we have the issue of getting the old bell off the right shifter, am I being stupid or is there a bolt I need to undo to get it off, or do I need to just a righy lever replacement?

Bolt right in the middle of the bell?

Yes Hoke! That’s pucker.

Just undo the bolt in the middle of the old bell!

Yep, me being dumb! Thanks man! Old bell removed and looking a lot cleaner!

Noice!
