    You've sold me on the seatpost and tyre upgrades!

    I have the standard gearing for the 6 speed models but pretty happy with it to be honest though I only really use 3-4 gears overall.

    Does the seatpost itself change the ride feel? I've never ridden on a titanium seatpost before.

    Would like to decrease weight a little bit and I am finding the turning on the front a bit stiff so thought a headset upgrade might fix that.

    Since I was thinking of upgrading the seatpost anyway, I thought I might as well upgrade some other bits as well at the same time. I might grab the Scrowave Suspension block too to improve the ride since I'll be ordering from SJS anyway. I also saw the Contact Urban tyres were on sale too...

    Ah fair enough. Will just leave it as seatpost and maybe headset/BB!

    Thanks for the responses guys! Any recommendations on chainsets to work with an existing 6 speed setup?

    Wanted to do some small upgrades on my Brompton. Was thinking of getting the Bromptification seatpost.

    Is it worth upgrading to the Joseph Kuosac headset as well or any other headset recommendations? I think a Chris King might be very over the top.

    I was also considering the titanium bottom bracket on SJS. Would changing the BB change the ride quality and would it allow for after market chainsets down the line?

    I have a Wilfa Svart grinder I am looking to sell if anyone is after a grinder for filter coffee. Would be looking for £40 collected but open to offers if I am far off

    A few years old but fully functional. Was my daily driver until a recent upgrade! I also have the original packaging in storage if you would like this. Used this daily to make V60s.

    Will give it a good clean before handing over.

    They are a black colour rather than the blue seen in the last photograph.
