  @amey Ah, I’ve already seen that. As @HoKe says, I think it’ll be too short as my saddle height is approx 830mm.

  Maybe I could buy one, cut the top off and use another 27.2 seatpost with a regular 31.8 saddle clamp and shim 🤔 Seems like a lot of faff for 200g saving though.

  I’m thinking of getting a titanium seatpost for my Brompton but I need the extra length of a telescopic seatpost - is there a titanium one available anywhere?

  By “worked great for me” he means he was able to drive to a trail, unload it from the back of his pickup truck and photograph it.

  The rest of the ride was quite good, too.

  I bumped into George ‘McNasty’ Berwick yesterday on an out-and-back DIY to Dundee. I’d only met him once before, last autumn when I was doing exactly the same route, so was surprised when he invited me in for a cup of tea. I was hardly going to turn him down so I followed him back home for a cuppa. We chatted for almost an hour and he showed me some old photographs as well as his collection of bikes. He even obliged when I asked if I could take his portrait. What a great human being.

  I also can’t imagine meats that are illegal to import into the UK being allowed to be cultivated/consumed because they are lab grown.

  I may just be over-thinking this.

  Not really.

  For every new advancement in technology there has to be somebody somewhere who thinks about the moral and legal issues that may arise from its use.

  I imagine cannibalism in any shape or form will probably remain illegal for the foreseeable future, at least in the UK.

  While we’re asking questions about your bike… are those the standard Brompton bars with Odi grips? I guess you just moved the brake levers in a bit to accommodate the larger grips?

  I want to put some Ergons on mine but been put off by reading that you need to chop them down. I have the flat Brompton bars on mine.
