I think it is amazing to let your baby see what you’re seeing. Granted things to note:

1. Works better with an M-stem,
   
2. Turning isn’t as sharpe as the cable is restricted due to the baby seat. Therefore turn carefully.
   
3. Front block bag is not usable due to the foot rest for baby.
   
4. If you have long legs you might struggle and need to cycle man spread.
   
   
   
   

Dibs.

How did it compare to your kenetic?

Wait for the G line pedals, they looks much nicer and bigger platform.

So keeping your current Brompton then ;)

@JAH-tim thanks.

@Arvy. no, was rushed on time and just wanted to see what the bike is like IRL. Basically first impress is big, very big and weighty....but impression was it just feel like a normal bike - unfortunately/fortunately it folds and the issue of this occurs when you tried to carry it around.

Was discussing this with the sales team and this is probably Brompton playing it safe as there will be a few snags on the way before they will make one with carbon forks and a ti rear triangle.

From a distance it doesn’t look that big, but up close it is not only massive but definitely very heavy…

How many dollars would you need to build this roughly btw?

He has been ghosting me…

Makes sense! Thanks.

@sbbohr these guys any good?

Sad thing to say, but the only thing I like and I hope they will have as an accessory for the other Brompton is the new pedal system for the G-line.

Does look a little big...

I see it’s cable disc, is hydro a bad idea?

Oh that would be amazing.

Anyone converted their Brompton to disc brakes?

I’m in two minds with the new G-line but the deciding factor is that the size increase is a show stopper for me.

Just thinking out loud here and potentially using the kinetic or even Aliexpress/ebay fork and triangle for the initial conversion.

Thoughts?

Not with my MK1.

Selling or just saying?

Also spotted this if anyone needed a longer seatpost:

Thanks, will be ordering this when I get home.

All this talk about suspension blocks has made me wonder about mine.

Anyone used these?

Or shall we just keep it OG:

Sounds like me, but unfortunately my spotted says might be over due to fatherhood

Corima wheels would make it complete IMO.
