Chainring bolts and the alignment of the pads relation to the brake track are worth a check. Only the latter needed fixing on mine - I have the same version.

I think the first thing I changed was the drive side pedal.

I have Joseph Kuosac mid rise bars. Best thing about them is that you get room for your hands on normal sized grips. Due to the fold there is a limit to how wide you can go.

Congrats by the way. Wouldn’t willingly be without a Brompton now.

Perfection.

Not as intriguing as the pipework in the bathroom.

Sorry for the late reply - no, not noticeable at all during riding.

I’ve been using them for a few months. All good so far, pedal on and off all the time. I prefer the QR mechanism over the MKS ones I have tried. There is the odd occasion when it takes a couple of goes to get the pedal on but this is a matter of a couple of seconds. The play that was present when they were new has not got any worse.

That, and the unplanned separation of the engine.

Is that today?

SOLD

PM replied to, thanks

Price drop:

£420 = 30% off the new price.

Plus post, if required.

Thanks rosskentt and jontea. Most helpful.

Tentative bump from the depths.

Would consider posting if helpful. I haven’t looked at costs - packed weight will be about 8kg I think when extra packing material is added.

Can't comment on the others, but I much prefer the QR mechanism on the Brompton Superlights over that on the MKS Compact Ezys in terms of ease of use.

Having said that, I do think fit could be better as there is a very small amount of play present, which at that price should have been avoided. Not noticeable in use, of course.

Lovely Chronostop, PawG!

I bought this frame last year. Purchased in Germany - there were none available from Brother at that time. It’s a project that I just don’t think is going to happen. My plan was to build something like this:
https://www.brothercycles.com/2017/10/allday-review-on-seasurfdirt/

It’s a 58, in black. Geometry is as per current spec: https://www.brothercycles.com/shop/frames/the-allday/

Only removed from the Brother box (which arrived undamaged) for photos - unmarked. Looks rather good if I may say so - there has been much hesitation about selling it. It is as new and unmarked.

~~£450 ~~

Cheers, shop it is then, when I get round to booking it in.

Is changing the seat tube sleeve a shop job?

Very sad.

It always puzzles me how unwilling public bodies in NI are to release information, and how little people are bothered. Is there any reason why the ambulance service couldn’t just say that the rider had been killed, rather than “we did not take anyone to hospital following this incident?”

Rest in peace.

The sizing is quite weird. I bought M and L and ended up choosing M (I’m 1,85m approx and about 82kg, take about a 32-34” leg in jeans depending on brand, 33 or 34” waist). In L the waist would have been far too big for me. In M the waist is right but the leg is just about long enough.

Pack size: M can roll up into about the size of a 500ml tinny.

I like that they’ve used just any old fucking crown and situated it about 3 cm above where it should go.

Can’t help with the crank but I have a set of Shimano PD-EF202 pedals, black, very little use and in excellent condition. £22 incl post - unlikely that I’ll be able to meet up.

Lovely Seamaster.

Has anyone worked out how to stop the Elemnt app asking for permissions every time I open the app, despite having granted those permissions previously?

Permissions re allowing SMS messages to appear on the unit, that is. Android phone.

That’s a nice thing to have from your father.

A good panda dial which looks to have aged well, case - gold capped? - has no major damage in that view, all the bits of the pushers are there, and that may be the original crown.

Well worth a sympathetic repair.

I’d recommend Duncan Potter at Genesis:
https://genesiswatchmaking.co.uk/watch-servicing.html
However, I do not know if they do Breitling.

Or Stephen Hale would do an excellent job.
https://www.shwr.co.uk

Both probably have quite a waiting list.And quite a price list, tbh.
With Genesis you book the watch in, keep it, and then send it in when alerted.

Any good watchmaker should be able to service one of these Valjoux movements but in this case you'd want to be sure they weren’t going to cock it up, and that they would have or could make any parts needed.
