The most stylish Brompton yet?

[John the Monkey]

Interestingly, perhaps, whilst looking for something on another topic, I found threads from 2009 and 2012 on YACF arguing that Brompton were pricing themselves out of the market.

The estimated cost of the Helix 10 speed is/was 1600 USD. I can't believe that the price will not go up though.

And by the magic of Treasure Island that price will translate to a minimum of 1600 GBP.

I'm wondering if this, if I replaced the stock grips with something from Brooks, would be a decently stylish substitute. The black, incidentally, is Starburst. I like the Nickel plated edition, but the derailleur is just wrong.
