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.

£40 collected in Wimbledon

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

I bought these a while back on eBay and the person I had bought it from had worn it very minimally as pictured. There is no visible pilling of the fabric. Unfortunately did not get the right size for me. These retail for $198 USD and that does not include shipping and taxes.

I would like £100 collected in Wimbledon/Balham area but open to offers.

Welham road area near the Graveney school.

Thanks for the support guys. It wasn’t a nice experience, two guys posing as Deliveroo drivers; they had stolen the moped and the coat apparently. Knocked me off and stamped on me but thankfully it was in front of a school when people were picking up their kids so lots of witnesses!

Anywhere good in South London/Wimbledon way for a full service of a Brompton? Got knocked off when someone in a Deliveroo driver uniform was trying to steal it off me.

I have the Joseph Kuosac Flat Handlebars on an S-type stem. Just wondering if that would work with the Brompton phone mount without any issues? Quadlock have a Black Friday sale on at the moment so tempted to pick the case up for my phone!

Sold now

Sold pending collection; thanks for the interest everyone!

There are more photos on the attached link. This one did not upload for some reason. I have given everything a good clean today hence the watermarks! I have taken of the worst scratches that are present.

I used this bike as my commuter for just over a year and a half between Balham and Queen Mary's Hospital and St George's Hospital (mostly at the latter). I had it serviced late November 2020 by Balfe Bikes. I was riding it for 3 months after the service and then stopped riding it since as my commute changed and was not able to find safe secure parking at my new workplace. Everything on the bike is fully functional. However, despite my best methods of storing the bike in the garage and general usage; I would suggest that the chain and cassette should be considered to be changed.

The groupset and wheelset was transferred from another bike but fully functional. The specifications are as follows:
Frameset: Brother Kepler Disc 2018; superficial scratches to the paintwork as pictured. Still completely functional.
Groupset: SRAM Rival Hydraulic transferred from a Planet X London Road from 2016 apart from the rear derailleur (Medium Cage) which has been replaced over a year ago.
Stem: Zipp Service Course Stem 90mm 6 Degrees
Handlebars: Deda Zero 100 42cm Bars with Fizik Bartape
Seatpost: Thomson Seatpost 410mm Inline
Saddle: Selle SMP Well/Hell Saddle; I will be supplying a slightly narrower one than the one pictured as I prefer the wider one that is currently on this bike
Chain: PC-1130 Chain
Cassette: SRAM 1130 Cassette 11-36
Wheelset: Novatec XD611/612 Hubs on DT Swiss rims (I believe they were taken from another wheelset but this was 4 years ago now) similar to 460db assymetric but wider originally built by @broken_777 . I have had the rear wheel rebuilt just under 2 years ago with DT Swiss spokes (cannot remeber which ones) but the front wheel is built with Pillar spokes.
Tyres: Continental Grand Prix 4 Season 32mm Tyres
Mudguards: SKS Bluemels
Pedals: Look Keo Classic 2 Pedals

I know I will get more for separating out the bike in parts but would rather sell as a whole package.
Asking price is £750 collected in Balham but negotiable. Photos will be uploaded in the next few posts. If you do not the saddle, I can take more off the price but we can discuss.

Not sure if Brompton sells just the frames anymore, otherwise I would

I had a tumble forward on my Brompton. Body took most of it thankfully. The rack mount has cracked a tiny bit but bag still secures on without wobble. Wondered what I could use to try and fix it?

Finally got round to posting a photo! Gave it a good scrub over the weekend and built by @Rhobbs

Optimistic third dibs!

Received mine today, great quality stuff!

Monty sold

£105 for the Ortlieb anyone?

I have come to the realisation that the bag is actually a Monty and not a Rummy! Price drop to compensate for what the bag actually is!
