Next up is probably the wisest bicycle investment I have ever made. I bought this superlight Brompton second hand in about 2009. It stayed as it was and didn’t get a huge amount of use until a few years ago, when it went to @sbbohr (I think, different username then?) to be serviced. New cranks, wheels and bars as well as newer levers, shifters and brakes have really made it sing. Goes so well now.
I invested in an IT Chair (terrible name) and fitted a smaller chainring earlier this year and it now does kid carrying pretty well too. I can’t ride uphill with her on it very well, but it’s perfect for pootling around town and just chucking in the car when we think we might have an excuse to ride.
Just a superb bike.
It has a Phil Wood front hub and I now really want to fit some of the new (purple pls) Paul brakes. All in good time :)
