First Brompton and indeed the first bike I’ve bought in years. Having a huge amount of fun with it and taken me no time at all to get used to.
Looking to do some upgrades. Will probably start with tyres (Continental Contact Urbans or Schwalbe Ones, thoughts?) and a few other bits, any recommendations?

Would not recommend Schwalbe Ones. I have them on my T-Line and I find them too puncture-prone. The next time I get a puncture, I’m switching to a more durable tire.
Congrats on the new brommie. Continental Contact Urbans (I have the brown wall version) have been a perfect balance between weight, grip, and durability. Highly recommend👍🏻
I have the Conti Contact Urbans on both of my Bromptons. Brown walls on one and the reflective black ones on the others. Great tyres and I’d recommend them to anybody.
Use up the new tires then do the change; I’m riding with continentals now for the money the are great on dry roads/paths but on wet, I skinned my knee; my next ones will be Schwalbe almotion tires and hope they got better traction on the wet.
Congrats!! That’s such a beautiful color, I am jealous!
