  I use one of these attached to the back of the steerer/handlebars. Holds a bottle nicely, although have to be a bit careful of the food as it can stick out a bit.

  Good to know 13.5kg can be beaten, would be nice to knock a kilo or so off if possible without going overboard on costs. Nice as they are, Rohloff = ££££££!

  Can you pm/share your work email or best email to get in touch with at SJS to avoid a complete thread derail?

  Thanks for the info 👍 Not sure what it weighs to be honest, but enough for me to notice it when climbing station stairs! Edit: weighs 13.5kg in current guise.

  Is Rohloff the only option, it is it possible to build a wheel with an Alfine 8/11 hub?

  Thanks for the reply, makes sense and half expected as much re advertising modified bikes.

  What I want vs what is possible vs what I’d consider reasonable expense may be the conundrum! Ideally I’d like a disk braked, geared and dynamo-ed Brompton that is lighter than my current dynamo-ed S6L. Guess that to get this one would need to go Ti rear frame and fork? What would be a ballpark cost something like this? Feel free to PM if that’s easier, or let me know an email address I ca send questions to.

  Disk brake, hub gear Brompton. See SJS have the parts, and sure saw them do a full Rohloff build but can’t find it for sale anywhere. Kinetics in Scotland or Vostok in Russia (?) seem to be the go-to for frame bits.

  Is there anywhere in the UK (south ideally) that will be able to have a complete bike made up without significant lead time? Assume no where will have these in stock as standard...

  Hi Luke,

  Thanks. Ideally will sell complete as need the space, but will consider it if the larger bits get taken.

  George Street has a range of things. I can’t find the name now. It there is a (expensive) beer tap room about half way down that is different but very nice for trying slightly more unusual beers. George Street social is you want something a bit more relaxed, the food there is good I’ve found.

  If you want food then the pizza at then White Rabbit behind the theatre can’t be beaten. No reservations taken and always busy, case of find a seat and sit in it.
