  That tree wouldn’t happen to be on the Salterns Way bike route between Itchenor and Redlands by any chance?

  How about a heftier option?

  They’ve been on my Brom for 11 years, never gone wrong and needed zero maintenance, though at some point the reflectors left the party.

  Consider a Joseph Kuosac 100mm mid riser (600mm wide) instead of Brompton one. SJS are UK stockist: https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/handlebars/joseph-kuosac-handlebar-for-bromptons-mid-rise-254mm-clamp-silver/

  I’ve been using one on my H6R since 2019 and it gives a better riding position IMO.

  I’d read that for an H stem if I kept the bars full width (ie: no trimming) I didn’t need to trim the cables. Well on a test ride after fitting I felt 600 was too wide so I trimmed them to 560mm and didn’t need to trim the cables. Maybe you won’t need to trim the cables if you get the M cables and keep the 600 width.

  Yours is an S2L (I like the multiple colours), or in new money a C-Line Urban Low. Personally I hate B’s new description of models.

  My own 2012 H6R = C-Line Explore High, but modded with a JK 100mm mid riser (trimmed to 560mm), so probably a C-Line Explore Mid.

  Looking closer at the pic again, it looks like your rear light bracket is on the wonk, as the B&M 2C appears to be leaning to the right, no?

  Congrats. That looks way nicer than the ‘new’ Chpt3. Q: Does that red dot I spy = an Alfine hub from Mr Cooper, if not do tell?

  From my reckoning your hub is the S-RK3:
