Are you trying to kill me?
Sounds good though, maybe in a few weeks when I feel a bit fitter?

Yeah a few weeks is better for me too. I'm currently using a manual change to a 28t ring at the front. This is ok when I'm on my own, but takes a few minutes every time I change to climb hills.Are you trying to kill me?

I've got a schlumpf mountain drive on order, just a click of a button to change.
It'll be bit warmer too.

Manual change is using my fingers...
.....a mountain drive is a planetary gearbox, the bromptons are difficult to fit a front mech, and when they are fitted they're not brilliant.
They are also used on unicycles and 'bents. They can be used on diamond framed bikes, but it's an expensive way to replace a front mech.....they cost £500 plus any accessories.

It's quite sophisticated for a northern bumpkin like bromptonfb
Kid one woke up,then wifey,followed by kid two ..... As i had been awake the longest, went to make tea for me and the good lady ..... Followed by shouts down from the kids.
Hey ho 4 cups of tea + biscuits hauled upstairs to find them all in my bed ....... I squeezed in at one end, we spent the next hor drinking tea and chilling out ........ Our kids are 20 and 17 ........ Last time we did that was a long long time ago!!!!
I so love tea :-)

I just thought my kids did that, they're 20 and 21 and my "little boy" is as big as me near enough, good job the mrs and daughter weigh less than 13 stone between them or we wouldn't all fit in.
