I took part in the World Brompton Championship in 2008, and went along to the Brompton ride around London and the tour around the factory the day before. One thing I noticed was that most people had customized their Bromptons somehow. I, myself, have customized my Brompton L3 as follows:
reduced gearing by replacement of sprocket
Brooks "Brompton" saddle - looks pretty similar to a Brooks B17 saddle
Post Moderne stubby bar ends
Schmidt SON XS dynamo hub
This was quite tame by some of the others. Some had Schlumpf gearing; some had 8-speed hub gears; many had SPDs. Someone on another thread posted a picture of a Brompton front wheel with a hub brake. What interesting customizations have you made to your Brompton?
