hey, it’s my 3rd week with the brompton and i’ve been loving it. i got used to it surprisingly fast as my go-to way of getting around – bye-bye uber for good.
after the first week, i realized i had to make a few changes or i’d lose my mind. i swapped the stock grips for leather ones from brooks, i’m not fully sold on the aluminum ends, but i didn’t feel like waiting for alternatives and honestly, anything is better than the stock foam. my hands were sweating like crazy and they just looked… cheap.
i also replaced the standard brompton saddle, which somehow managed to hurt everything it possibly could and probably more. i went with a b17 and was warned about two weeks of pain and suffering, but that didn't happen at all. for me, it was comfortable straight out of the box.
picked up the waterproof messenger bag in l as well. i couldn’t find much useful info about it before buying, so if anyone’s curious, hit me up.
for now, it’s a solid 10/10. getting around warsaw is actually enjoyable, both on the bike lanes and when mixing it with public transport.
super happy 🙂
