Oh well... it would've been nice, but it was going to be a never ridden 'investment' that's posted on eBay. Out of interest, do you know what's happening with 'normal' Ti bromptons? No one seems to know when the next batch are coming out.

Here's a probably fruitless question... I've got a cycle2work voucher coming in and was interested getting a Ti Brompton, and thought a new Chpt 3 would be nice. A few shops I've spoken to have had pre-sold their allocations.

Does anyone know of any shops that may still have some allocation available?

Sweet! 👏

Lavender? Not blueblue obvs, but blueish.

Most beautiful cages imho are Speedplay Nanograms.

The top silver round thing

You probably know this already, but release for campag brakes is in the shifter, rather than on the brake itself like Shimano.

Bit late to the party @Super_653, but I've got 11sp Athena on a bike and I really like it. Shifting is smooth and the hoods are a very comfortable shape.

I'm not a racer, so don't need super snappy shifting à la Dura ace

For me, the lack of any useful info and abundance of marketing bs in the specs are a red flag. For example:

"FRAME: Aphelion Signature Series. Made from steel. Modelled from the first ever Aphelion. Built with lugs to add strength and stability"

Lugs to add strength and stability? Obviously false and bs.

It also weighs near 11kg, so it's just ordinary steel with parts that will probably wear out in a year or so.

TL;DR, I wouldn't spend £490 on it. I'd buy something like this Fuji for £299... https://www.wiggle.co.uk/fuji-declaration-urban-bike-2020

I like the purple.

Cheers for the replies. Will disassemble, clean, oil etc. 😘

Guys (maybe @Rhobbs),

Could you help me out. The gf's Brompton's rear brake was super stiff, so pulled out the brake cable for a clean and re-oil. However, I noticed the caliper itself is quite stiff... i.e. you push it together, but it doesn't spring back readily.

Any advice? It's a 2012 model.

Just found this! Chapeau to @crankybike for creating this thread. I'll have to take a few pics of mine tomorrow. Please be kind, as it's only a humble hybrid, but it's got a basket on the front so should win the odd hipster point (maybe)!

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...

That's really nice. Nice clean looking lines despite the guards and the saddle zimmer frame

Budget? Does it need posting?

What colour? Any particular model/budget?

Got a 100mm X2 I'll be taking off the single speed soon. You interested?

May be able to help you out when I'm back from hols on Monday. Recently upgraded mine.

Think I have one of those. New too. Currently on holiday until 7th May, so let me know if you'd still be interested.

I found a set of the classic NOS campagnolo super record downtube shifters, which I bought for a vintage build ages ago (didn't use it, went modern Athena instead). It probably isn't what you're after, but PM if it is.

Also, should have some 10sp cassettes kicking about, which are probably 12-25t, but will have to look.

What's your budget? I've got a set of unused Nitto B260AA I'm not using.

dunno, amigo. I think a silver campag gruppo would look better.

Cool. Will see if I can get to the flat's bike shed today and take a few pics.

I have been meaning to strip down and move on a bike. It's currently got a Shimano 105 5600 group on it. Not ridden it much for a few years so that's the reason for sale.

All the gears work, but front chainrings could probably do with a change.

Got centaur 10sp with the nice carbon levers. PM me if interested
