If I still rode wedgies I would have a Brompton, enjoy.

Well... a day of surprises... we went to pick up my wife's Brompton and came away with two matching Bromptons! It turns out that the company sent two identical bikes by accident, and since the shop-owner knew he would be unlikely to sell the other one any time soon, he offered it to us at a big discount. So, despite the slightly creepy thing of having matching bikes, it was too good to miss - especially as we were buying the original one on the Cyclescheme anyway - and we bought both! We are very glad we did and in fact were left wondering why we hadn't thought of this a couple of years ago - we already have plans to take them on holiday...

My wife and I with our accidentally matching Bromptons... (yes, I know I need a haircut!)

BTW does one get 1 or 2 folding pedals fitted as standard thesedays ?

You can top off the twee factor by wearing matching kit as well.

1 - there's no need to have two folding pedals.

I don't think so! And I would have gone for a Brompton in orange if I had known I was going to get one...

No excuses! You can get paint spray cans easily enough!

But there twins.


How can you do that to them there lovely

It does rather feel like that. I do like the colour too. However I will be changing the saddle ASAP - the basic one is rather fat and spongy for me.

very cool,i always thought of those as the rolls royce of folders.

 

[andygates]

Yay more Bromptons in the world!

What type of Brompton? They look like they are one of the more lightweight models. I've got an older L3, which is great, and a less loved T5, which is heavier and less reliable with the old Sturmey Archer 5 speed hub.
