Got this lil 6 speed bumblebike for bootlin' 'bout town on. I'm stoked for the shenanigans this can facilitate 😀
A few small mods are en-route from Aliexpress as we speak! Though I also grabbed some better grips while I was in town centre today. Excited to fit them tonight and feel how they feel tomorrow 🥳
I love this bike.

Level that saddle! It’s giving me plum anxiety!
Usually, you adjust the saddle so that it is horizontal, then move it forwards or backwards to suit your comfort.
Is there a particular reason for this?
Ps: As a man, it pains me to see your adjustment :s
great welcome to the fold. 🙂 Love that color
adjust the seat – it should be level to begin with – you can tweak after
And that is also the way you should tackle upgrades. Ride the bike and see what bothers you. I immediately changed the clamps, to something self aligning. I switched to my preferred grips and saddle too and realized later one sits way different on a brompton. Still worked out
Also the rollerwheels you have, I didnt like.there are cooler rollerwheels on the market. I like the son ones. But you can search here for some nice ones
great choice in color. im calling your Brompton ‘Vlad the impaler’ until you fixe the seat.
the next stage is proselytizing!
Register it with Brompton for an extended frame warrantee, and then register it again with whatever bike ownership database operates locally. Here in UK, that is “BikeRegister”

Spend money in a brooks B17 and more money in expensive bags 🙂
Next comes a period of looking lame while you learn to fold/unfold. Until you become expert and can then smugly do the thing where you unfold by flicking both wheels out at the same time #joy
