It probably is possible but it would be quite a tricky thing ensuring the fold isn't compromised. <br /><br />The two triggers are surprisingly easy to master and takes little time to get used to. In addition they keep the weight down. Within a few minutes of riding you'd be okay with two triggers.

But the 2013 Bromptons will not reach my dealer (Asia) unit May. So it's another 2 months wait. In the meantime, you are an inspiration. One question:<br /><br />I don't fancy the dual gear change levels on the Brompton.

In fact a friend is ordering an S6L in Sage Green with Black extremities and I think it is going to look pretty good!

The original swaged chainset and brake-levers were indeed cheapo low grade items.
