Let's See Your Folding Bike

[CaptainWheezy]

Here's mine (Sorry, more Bromptons!)

S6L in lime green with reduced gearing cos we have proper hills up north, and Shimano dynamo (think its a 2015)

And N+ er, a few...
An S6R in Raw black lacquer (Bought as an S6L and added the rack), again with reduced gearing and I added SON dynamo and Brooks saddle.

Might take the rack back off and stick it on the green one, and swap a few of the silver parts for black, undecided...

Mrs CaptainWheezy also has an S6L in Cherry Blossom, again with reduced gearing and Shimano dynamo, but not got any photo's to hand.

That's a very interesting folding bike. How does that Micro-Bike ride?

Loving it

Like something out of a circus .

Man, you have to post a video of that.

My first folder was a Tern P9.

That lasted about 6 months before the hinge bolt sheared and Tern were unable to supply a replacement frame in the original colour so it become a bit of a mongrel.

Later on the pedal sheared off almost putting me under a bus.

Finally I splashed out and got this, a little over two years old now.

Here’s mine then.

Not so close that you can see how mucky it is.

And that’s not a special parking spot reserved for me. I work on Brompton Road and there’s a company in our building called Brompton Asset Management.

Perfectly.

I started with an H type, which has a different stem for just that reason:

Sure does. I was wondering because I thought I saw some extentions off the ends of the grips. Love the green. Would have been my choice had it been available when I purchased mine.

I believe the Bickerton was one of the first folding bikes, if not the first. Still riding well, I see.

Beautiful bikes. I particularly like your chrome Brompton. Was that a special order, by any chance? The Birdy must be quite comfortable to ride with the front shock system. How do you find it?

The brompton was custom electroplated ... I think its a Nickel frame with copper electroplated extremities. So is the first one custom baked paint ... The only way to make a real limited edition nowaday?

Not mine but a friend has acquired two original bickertons
