Recently I bought an immaculate Brompton Brazen from eBay, that bike will never get wet!! Then there's the general use Brompton. I'm not materialistic in any other way, but when it comes to my Bromptons...........!handymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16979382393183293611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386936010311519.post-52352576915196506252021-06-20T06:34:51.996+01:002021-06-20T06:34:51.996+01:00in the summer i use my two ti:s, but for winter i ...in the summer i use my two ti:s, but for winter i turn to a black beater, a 90s t5 converted to 44/305. it goes regardless of slushy salty snowy icy conditions. it is helped by a longer mudguard flap for the front wheel almost down to the ground, and a snow deflektor at the right side of the rear wheel which together with a bigger spocket helps keeping ice blocking up the mechanism. to kaishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04618953295890649984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386936010311519.post-33101283646029542602021-06-19T01:44:21.744+01:002021-06-19T01:44:21.744+01:00My Orange P6 is pushing 14yrs this summer.

Brompton is far more convenient if I have to pick anything up that doesn't fit in pockets or 9l seatbag, plus the mudguards are less a temporary thing, but I do miss disc brakes in the wet when on the Brommie. I'm going to have to clean the drivetrain and stuff anyway. Front luggage justmitchenallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03296338524953499165noreply@blogger.com
