Hello,
I'm returning to cycling after a break. I sold my Brompton S2L in 2011, with regret. I now have a white S2L purchased just this week. On the whole, I am happy. It was purchased second hand and therefore needs some love, new brake pads and a few other consumables.

Previously I've always used Brooks leather saddles, but until I source one, I am finding the supplied Brompton branded saddle VERY uncomfortable. I have a triple sprung Brooks B33 saddle knocking about... but surely this won't suit the S2L... but it will be very comfortable.

Any thoughts?

Buy a new saddle?

Picked up a B17 in honey today for a £15. Pretty happy, and comfortable.

Won't that be a bit sticky?

Get on a train out into the countryside? Or just head north or east?

Have you looked at Cycle-route.com

Clissold Park? Or Finsbury Park? There's Lea Valley as well I guess.
