The nose of that saddle looks a little 'up' but the bike looks good.

correct Sir, well spotted.
The mechanic who put the bits on bike, left it like that.
I had a black seat post and pentaclip fitted as well.
Moments after the pictures were taken I adjusted the seat.
I was nine miles in when my nuts could take no more.
Brilliant bikes of Chobham did an excellent job, I cannot recommend them enough.

No matter how much you say...must resist... gotta keep it standard... before you know it at the very least you've changed the grips, brake levers, put bar ends and mirrors on and there's no stopping once on that slippery slope. Still, it's a Brompton and if it folds well, rides well and makes you smile, you're already ahead.

That's some nice looking upgrades. Funny thing, everyone says how well made Bromptons are but the first thing we do is upgrade stuff.

Beside pure cosmetic upgrades for better style/look, I think people mostly upgrade Bromptons to better suite their needs rather than upgrading anything for better quality parts. I changed stock pedals because of their shape, no matter how well build they are. Handlebar offers zero adjustments so I had to change it to suit my needs better. Though I try to keep it looking as close to stock as I can.

I agree, I changed the saddle from stock to a C17, and fitted Ergon GP1 grips. As my Brommie is black I added a bit of contrast by repurposing the label from a can of beer...
