A friend had both of these stolen from the stairwell of their flat in Limehouse last week.
The Maruishi is nothing special (just annoying to have it pinched) but the Brompton is really nice, 1st generation model (I think?) with some sentimental value as it belonged to their Grandfather who was a big cyclist.
If anyone sees either of these anywhere please let me know - thanks!

Some lovely person decided to alleviate me from the burden of having nice things by stealing my Thomson seat post and Fizik Arione Wingflex on Sat night/ Sun morning, locked up next to the bus stop outside The Surgery Medical Centre on Southgate Rd N1.
Seatpost is a Thomson Elite Layback 27.2 cut to 300mm (previously belonging to the wonderful @BareNecessities), it has a distinguishing feature in that it has no max insertion line so I think it was probably 410mm before it was cut down.
Fizik Arione Wingflex is an older version with all leather covering including the strip down the middle of the seat (maybe the Ti model?), has some wear marks I'd recognise and the leather upper is peeling off from the shell slightly on the underneath at both 'wings'. Don't have any great pics of mine but it's the same as these
Obviously a long shot but if anyone sees either of these being hawked down Brick Lane or similar, give me a shout/ give whoever's selling them a thump on the nose.

These bikes are great, sure you'll have a lot of fun on this! TRP CX 8.4s are a solid choice, be interested to hear what others think of the RR 511 rims as I'm looking to build an SSCX wheel set at the minute too.
Wouldn't bother with aluminium cogs personally, they tend to wear very quickly in my experience (although I've not tried the ones you've mentioned). I'd go steel and either Chris King or Wolf Tooth stainless steel if you want something bling or Surly/ Andel if you want cheap and cheerful.
