Hi all. I've just joined your forum having splashed out on an older Brompton (2005 from the serial number, I think), and not really knowing what I'm doing with it. I'll probably be asking various beginners questions as I go along, and have this one already..
At present, if you lift the bike by the saddle, the rear end tucks under as if you are folding it up. I find this a bit disconcerting and impractical, and I think later bikes have a little latch fitted to hold it together unless you do actually want it to fold.
So I'm wondering if anyone knows whether it is possible to retrofit the latch to an older bike, please? Thanks for any pointers. Cheers. Phil.
