if I wanted to buy a kit is it possible ?My brompton doesn't get much use. Been thinking about selling it, but I have this crazy idea of turning it into a recumbent. It has the SA 8 speed upgrade and with it's rear suspension I think it would make a fun 'bent.
I'm not worried about keeping the fold, so really just after brazing on a boom and having a seat mount and seat with a couple of inches fore/aft adjustment. I might ask Kinetics for a quote. I think the bike pictured belongs to Mary Arneson, see BROL thread http://www.bentrideronline.com/messageboard/showthread.php?t=76250

Only if you manage to find a used one (which is a rare coincidence). The kits were made in the late nineties and in total 100 were made. A couple of those were devoted as spares, a bit more than 90 were sold and those are long gone. The kit only fits the older Brompton frame with the shorter wheelbase; due to the length of the industrial belt it does not fit to the slightly longer MK4 frame.if I wanted to buy a kit is it possible ?
