Show us your Bromptons

[Gunk]

There’s been quite a lot of Brommie activity recently so I thought it would be interesting to have a round up of what people have and what you’ve done to them.

Mine is well documented on the forum, having just been through a thorough refresh. It’s a fairly standard 2011 M3L, the only changes are a 1970’s Brooks Competition saddle, Brommiemods chainguard, Eazy wheels, later brake levers and of course the clever little Brompton tool kit. Bag is a Brompton Basket Bag

Go on then, I'll play.

My green one and the Fragrant MrsPs blue bike crossing a pontoon bridge over the Danube back in May.

And mine now with Brooks saddle and phone holder doodad thingy.

Here's an old picture of mine. In 2014, a week or so before the Tour de France visited Yorkshire.

For those who've so far managed to escape it's own thread; my 2021 C-Line Explore Black Edition in black lacquer.

It's standard apart from:

- Brompton Borough large waterproof front bag
- Brompton Eazy-wheels
- EZ Clamp hinge clamp guides (which disappointingly have been playing up a bit recently)
- Quadlock phone bracket with Wafterspeed™ adaptor for Polar GPS unit
- Wafterspeed™ brass frame protection plates


Needs some work yet, but it's getting there

Looks like a Kinetic conversion - Rholoff hub and disc brakes, very nice bike.

Thanks. Yes, it's Ben's handiwork. A Kindernay 14 speed hub...

Looks lovely - and significantly more aggressive than my road bike

Lovely bikes, great choice in luggage, but if handles were necessary, Brompton would be fleecing people with various branded partnerships, etc. Sorry... just can't understand the handles... just lightly ruins them. Feel it's disrespecting our steed... "I'll touch handle-bars, push feet on pedals, sit on saddle, but when ride is finished, I don't want to touch you".
