Is my made-over better?

[novetan]

I bought a foldable bike (a looked alike Brompton) in chrome finished and wish to improve on its aesthetic. Pls advise A or B

A for me. Although I thought I was the world's biggest fan of tanwall tyres, they introduce a colour into B that wasn't there otherwise.

On a side note, what's the bike? It doesnt' half look like my nickel Brompton!

I'd say B, it looks awesome!

My response to the OP's question will vary depending on whether this an official Brompton licenced product or the shameless theft of Brompton's intellectual property.

A.

Where did you get the rear-rack?

 

[Tenkaykev]

I have tan wall on one of my Brommies but with the chrome I think the black goes better.
Do my eyes deceive me or is the rear triangle frame protector really held on with a couple of plastic cable (zip) ties?

A ...... is it a Neobike ??

For a ha'porth of tar...

Clear zip ties on a black background with the join pointing out. Sinner!
Black tyres look good, A

If you were to do a search, they have exhibited in the World Bike Show (I think last yr or the yr before). They have huge factory in China and South Korea that distribute to many parts of the world. Well, you can said its a copy but I didn't buy it from the thieves market. I was told Brompton patent, or design patent whatever, has expired. You can also do a search for that.

haha, Didn't noticed that. It comes as it is. That rubber thingy is to allowed the front tyre hook to rest to prevent the surface being scratched. I shall change to black ties.

Picture A unless by some miracle tyres are available with walls in some other colour. (e.g. lime green, red etc)
