Interested in the 5 Speed Rear Wheel.
Can you give me a bit of a history on it?
- How old is it?
- Have you ridden with the wheel?
- Why are you selling it?
- Is it one of the old English ones or a Taiwanese one? Did you buy an old Brompton and didn't like it and are switching it out or did you buy it new and not like it
ETC.
Dibs if positive...
- How old is it?
-
Not discrediting your claim, but I don't get why it wouldn't fit titanium models? I'm interested buying the parts down the line and was wondering the issues the kit has with titanium?
-
Cool!
What size do you have?
Does it have the bezelled bottom so that you can't pull it through the frame?Cheers,
-William-yes one of these

Does anyone have one of the replica Bromptification seat posts (that are 1/3 of the price) that are on Ebay? If so, what is the quality like?
-
What cranks and other transmission parts are you running there?
My write-off rescue Brompton has gone from this:
via this:
to this:
Total spend including the new bag is probably now about £250, but the net spend taking into account the rack and old bag that I've sold is probably about £160. Considering in terms of everything but looks it is exactly like a new Brompton, I am delighted with it. I rode it about 20 miles in all yesterday and really enjoyed it.

^^^^ Brilliant. Well worth the click!

Someone's chopped a pair of these pal:
You think that they are just standard NITTO RB021 or something similar?
I don't think they are. I don't think they would be wide enough.Did a bit more research on the original pictures:

https://www.flickr.com/photos/bromptonia/6222180126/in/set-72157622941904889Then I plugged those numbers into google and found this:
http://dameningen555.blog93.fc2.com/blog-category-12.htmlLooks much wider than the Nitto bullhorns.

Anyone know where the bullhorn bars from these pictures come from?
-
Anyone have any idea what Bullhorn Bar is on this Brompton?

Don't.
Go for a colour that will hide the dirt. Bromptons get dirty very quickly.
-
Interested.
Dibs in whatever order I would be in. -
Where are the handlebars from? It looks a lot longer than the one Bromptification offers...
-
Hmmm...
Dibs.
PM sent about collection and condition -
Just, quite literally, just spat my post-workout protein shake and oats all over the screen. Thanks for that!

God Damn it!

Hello all,
Looking at purchasing one for my girlfriend's 30th (she isn't into jewellery).
3 speed preferred but would consider 2 speed or 6.
Looking for those built within the last 5 years. I think they changed the hinge design slightly and added dual pivot brakes around 2009.
Depending on condition and the options, I would be willing to pay anything from 450 - 650 (but of course the cheaper, the better).
Cheers!

that's what I have. i find the 69gi on the middle to be ok but a bit wearing on the legs over 11mi commuting (compared to 69 on my surly) the low end is spinny so i only use it when i'm knackered and want to pootle on the uphills and the top end is good for casually destroying/baiting cat6 roadies on the downhills.
i've toyed with the idea of switching to 2 speed as i'd prefer to drop the weight of the hub but haven't fully made my mind up about it but if you don't rush out to replace yours there's a remote possibility for some kind of swapsies down the line perhaps.
+1. This is what I have and find myself with almost the exact same opinion.
-
Here is a question. Which of the MKS Ezy 'Superior' pedals would fit pedal straps? Anyone with experience?
-
Sorry that's what I meant, I was planning on swapping one of the sprockets, just not sure what to go for.
Have thought about upgrading to a 6 speed BWR and to hell with it, but want to try the cheaper option first.
You can add an extra sprocket on the back wheel, fiddle with the gear adjuster, and get a third gear onto the 2 speed without having to upgrade the hub. Cost will be next to nothing, unless you damage the tensioner and assorted pieces in the meantime. I have a PDF file that describes the process if you PM me your email.

Wow! That Whale story MUST have been the inspiration for the children's short story 'Greensleeves' by Paul Jennings from the book 'Uncanny'.
Anyone else read it as a kid (he's an Australian author).(Below Synopsis ripped from some site)
(The book Weirdest Stories has 26 stories, but I’ve chosen one it’s called Greensleeves)
Stage 1: Challenge Overcoming setbacks|stirving to do your best|decisions
Title: Greensleeves
Author: Paul Jennings
Plot Summary: in the story a boy named greensleeves, lives with his father in a caravan park, there poor, and his father hasn’t got much money, his job is to take wood and throw it away, he doesn’t get a lot of money doing this, one day, there was a whale that got stuck on the beach, near them, it had died, and the smell was terrible, the council workers, tried everything to get rid of it, there tried using a crane, fisherman tried pulling it to sea, but the whale was too big, and it broke the cable, the mayor got sick and tried, of the local’s to remove it, so he put up a $5000 reward, who ever could remove it. Greensleeves and his dad, said there could do it, because he had some gelignite sticks, and the next day, there borrowed some gas mask, and his father couldn’t go down to the whale, so Greensleeves, had to go down, when he already stuck the 16 gelignite sticks, the mayor, greensleeves and his father, drove away from they, them they blew it up!,”whoopeeeeeee” the father yelled we’re getting $5000, meaning we can invest in a house, when the whale blew up, there was nothing left, on the sand, but when he looked back the whales pieces, were everywhere in the town, the mayor got really angry, and said that $5000, isn’t going to get it to you!, now i have to spend it on the clean up on the town, there was pieces of whale everywhere in the towns, on TV posts and lamps. Greensleeves felt much said and his father felt even worst, so there went to the caravan park. Later that day a minister came to see greensleeves and asked him if he was the boy that went down the whale. Greensleeves replied “yes”, the minister showed him a picture of Ambergris, he said that that stuff makes the best smell ever, then greensleeves, said yes! I found it on top of my caravan when I was cleaning it, so there all rushed over to the caravan and found it, his father got $10,000 reward for that. And they invested in a house.
Character Studies:
Dad: The father of greensleeves, works for a woodwork company, doesn’t get paid much.
Greensleeves: The son of Dad is also poor, because his father cannot afford much.
Mayor: The Mayor of Port Niranda, a wealthy mayor, and also loving to all his Port Niranda.
Minister: Perfume Marker, a wealthy maker, very famous, for his good smelling perfume.
Type of book: The type of book, it’s adventurous
Main Message: From my point of view, the main message of the book, is that when your poor, doesn’t mean you don’t have anything, and you can still believe in yourself.
Themes: Challenge|Decisions|Overcoming setbacks|Striving to do your best|
Recommendations: I strongly recommend this book; it’s a very good read, if you’re in to adventure, and weird stuff.
Rating: 10/10 I choose this rating because I really enjoyed the book, it was my type of reading, the adventures, and the twists

that would make sense, but when it's folded it would be very exposed
Can anyone even work out the website?
Exposed? How? I'm not sure I understand what you mean...

I think the Minivelo one is the more secure holding option, the NOV looks unsecured
you'd barely see the minivelo either I think
I'm not entirly sure, would the mini be affected by mudguards?
Pretty sure it used rare Earth Magnets to both hold it and then hold the pedal...
But then again I'm not sure at all. That is the only way it could work...right?
