Bit of Brompton information please?

[Bill]

The joy of more modern Dahon cycles is the ideas that are added to them! My Vitesse has the luggage block on the head tube and I adjusted it to take the Brompton luggage block. I own one of the the old type 'Touring Pannier' bags but I gather these are no longer made. Can some of you Brompton owners tell me which of the modern Brompton bags is nearest my touring pannier please!?

The T-bag is still available, although somewhat modified from the original Carradice one, at Brilliant Bikes (2 left!):

T-bag is most like touring pannier. I didn't know Carradice ever did the touring pannier...? Mr SHK's touring pannier must now be c. 8 years old.

The C bag is great as well.

I used mine on a recent tour to Holland and Germany

Out of interest is that saddle a Swallow, a Swift or a B17 and what do you think of it?

 

[Melvil]

It's a B17 and (after the first 250 miles) it's become really comfortable. If you've got a Brooks shaped bum it's brilliant.

Does Brooks do a bum checking service? Actually...

Thanks for the replies, if your bum has been subjected to a accident in the past your Brookes saddle will find any unknown problem you might have there via the unyealding lump of leather.......
