Great I will look forward to hear about it.

Thank you everyone for your help and recommendations.

Haha. I know. Its not a major thing at the moment. I'm just researching. Other things I wish to do first. Thank you for your help though. Really appreciate it.

Raw Black Lacquer .

Potentially, Ideally I would change the stem to an S stem and add the bars I want. 1. I won't be able to get the colour I want in the stem and 2. I don't want to spend the extra haha.

Cheapskate at heart.

I find the reach isn't far away enough. I prefer a slightly more road bike position. I understand I won't be able to get the exact same position, but even just a slight improvement would be great.

Has anyone changed their M handle bars to the S style or a bullhorn Style without changing the M stem to an S stem?

I would like to change my M handlebars but I don't really want the extra cost of adding a S stem for a further reach. I suppose I could get an extender as an alternative (https://www.rideabikes.com/product/bicycle/city/brompton/components---accessories/sf5-extendable-stem), but a bit unsightly.

That is top on my list. I'm use to riding a road bike, so will be nice to get a stiffer ride and improve the efficiency of each pedal. A lot of wants, just need to focus on the needs at the moment.

I do have to say. I knew brompton used these parts, but considering the high price Bromptons are, for obvious reasons that we all are aware of. I am surprised by the high use of plastics. For example. Plastic seat post clamp, plastic handlebar catcher, Plastic and badly cut mud guards etc.

I probably won't replace them for a while yet while I save up and decide which clamps to go for, but I will keep you in mind when I do.

Brilliant. Thank you for the tip, both are definitely on my wish list.

I would really like to change the wheels to carbon rims, but still want to keep the ability of 6 speed. Which I know isn't a match made in heaven. Has anyone seen or heard of this being possible?

Thank you for the heads up. I don't require the catch to do much work in my daily life. It just more for storage when at home and work, won't be carrying the bike by hand for trains etc.

I got the Joseph Kuosac light wheel set and the Ti Parts workshop catch. Both in black.

Fantastic, thank you for the heads up.

My next steps I think will be upgrading the seat post clamp and frame clamps. Eventually looking at changing handle bars.

Just became a proud owner of my first Brompton. Brompton Superlight M6L Black edition. Is there any must do upgrades worth doing asap?

I have already purchased some new easy wheels and a replacement handlebar catcher.
