Welcome to the fold!

A community for all Bromptonites of the Fediverse!

The Brompton is a folding bicycle which is known for its unique design and compact folded size. The 3-part fold transforms the bike into an incredibly small locked package in no time.

Made in London, UK - loved all over the world. <3

Crosspost, but took my B along (2014 M6R, well used, well loved, excellent condition) to drop my Bike Friday off for a Tune Up (r2.easyimg.io)

Pretty nice! What are you going to tune?

Btw, I love your wooden mudguards. Did you make them?

The brompton mudguards are Nisna, they stopped making them. The Bime Friday are recently custom made by Woody's Custom Fenders. They are gorgeous IMO. I have 2.25 inch studded tires on in the winter that the stock fenders were no Bueno for.

Oh yeah, my rear cog on my bike friday was skipping, and I couldn't personally get it quite right, so off to the shop it went. Chain is still good.

I had a similar issue on my full size bike and it turned out the cable had corroded. It took a bit to figure out because after the shop tuned it it would work fine for 100-200 km or one tough climb but then start skipping again.
