Hmmmm...probably too difficult to get on CycleScheme ... I think I will stick with the standard options ...
A possible Brompton purchase

That's too black for my liking .... my only gripe with mine is black mudguards ..... Oh well, Christmas is coming ....

Hmm, too much black.
Mine is standard black off the shelf cos I was too impatient to wait for a bespoke build. I'd love the money to treat myself to a really garish build.

I'm so hooked I'm beginning to wonder if you can't have too many Bromptons ....

Why? I was able to have mine custom-built on cyclescheme. Aren't you able to buy from a Brompton dealer?

Warlands in Oxford are both Brompton specialists and Cycle-scheme dealers ....

Hmm..OK - I'll give it some more thought - but, you cannot get it in racing green so I may still go with the "normal"
Thanks everyone

The dealer has to give the scheme about 10 per cent.
It may be a dealer will be reluctant to put a special edition bike on the scheme because they reckon they can get full price for it from a cash customer.

You may be right, although Bromptons are almost never discounted anyway.

Talked to some bike shops and it seems that the special edition "Black" Bromptons are not customisable, meaning they are built as a M3R, S2L, etc... and that is what you get, you cannot specify a hub dynamo, marathon tyres....
So, back to this..

@User14044 : What do you think of the "P" handlebars ?

I am 5'9" or so, with a 29"/30" leg.
I have tried the M and S versions, and much prefer the M, the S were too low and I could imagine my back aching quite quickly. The P type do look rather odd though ... Hmmm - so many options

Are the stems the same on the "M" and "P" type - could I swap the handlebars easily ? Any idea ?

and do I spy the Shimano hub dynamo ? What do you think of that - worth the money or not ?
