Hey mate, what length cranks are you after? I've got 105 5700 170mm 52/39 in black.

Cheers for the info, am currently trying to figure out how to get more luggage onto the Brompton without getting a rack.

You are in luck, amigo! You can pick between Record 170mm (bought as unused) and Centaur 172.5mm (ex-demo). Both are carbon, UT and 53/39... were bought for a modern-vintage restoration, but went with a shiny alloy Athena gruppo instead.

Got campag carbon Centaur UT cranks. Bought them ages ago off a display bike, so minimal use. £60?

You dead set on black? Have got a white one.

Got a set of 170mm 10sp Record UT cranks, if that floats your boat?

Good to meet you yesterday. Hope the basket serves you well!

So what is changing on the 2017 Brompton? Had a quick look at the interweb and all I can see is there's an electric one coming some time in the near future.

Yeah. I got l bought a large wald 1392 basket that has never been fitted, and I'll probably never use it. £30?

Got what you need, black 5700 105 53/39 in 172.5mm methinks. Hardly used. Let me know if interested.

Well, I eventually took the bike to Cycles UK in Greenwich for a 'brighten and tighten' (love that phrase!), and here it is!

They fixed the mudguard, sorted out gears etc, but couldn't get the cranks off to regrease the bb, and apparently the headset only has the lower set of bearings (as the top half is plastic). Weird.

Also the hub has the date 12 78 etched into it. And most importantly it rides quite nicely!

Thomson silver inline, 27.2mm and 33cm long. It's only been used on one bike, but I had to wrangle it out, so it's got scratches for 16cm of it. Thankfully the Thomson lettering is intact.

Just seen this. You guys sorted yet, or still looking?

Got a 12° carbon bontrager, if you're interested.

What length do you want? I've got carbon centaurs in 172.5mm and record 170mm. Both are barely used and originally bought for a build but weren't used.

Silver. One of those nice nitto ones!

Think I may have one kicking about. Let me see if I can find it this weekend. I'll send you some pics and look at price and postage to Sweden.

I'll get some photos together this weekend. £5?

Actually I do. Something to suit a MTB/hybrid, I assume?

I think a brighten and tighten. It's in good condition, but needs a disassemble, clean and re-grease (the steering is far from silky smooth) and recable.

Not sure about upgrades tbh. Coaster brake? But then it's already got SA hub. Lighter wheels? But the current ones are so shiny! Replacing the current cranks with the set of grand mighty SG75s I've got in the parts bin? Hmmmmmm...

Indeed it is! The bolt that holds the mudguard at the front appears to have been twisted off, so the mudguard is twisted too and there's gouge in it where the bolt should be. Will probably just remove the mudguard in the short term and see if I can fit a chain guard (a la Brompton)

Must say that this is one of the coolest projects IMO.

In fact, in a moment of inspiration I've gotten my grubby mitts on a Triumph Trafficmaster. It's red and surprisingly shiny, but obviously needs a little work

3kg less than your current bike, and £1000+ cheaper than the Canyon... Seems like a good deal to me!

New CAAD12?

Did you still want one of these? Got one sitting in a box that's barely been used.
