New brompton 2017

[chris folder]

Hianyone own a new 2017 brompton? I see there available in a few brompton dealers. How you finding the new gear levers? Is it up and down two triggers to each lever? I see the bell is positioned on the inside of lever now I saw few positioned on the outside thought that would be harder to use

Hi Chris. I've got one. One lever trigger each side that controls both up and down shifting. I like them, but havent tried earlier Brommie shifters before. The bell is incredibly conveniently placed.....in fact i accidentally ring it every now and then by accident.

There's a video of the new features here. Just arrived in my inbox today.

Have been checking out those new shifters. I plan to order a new Brompton once the 2nd Rhino sells. The new levers look more modern - the old just functional. Looking forward to joining the Brompton club sometime.
