Upgrades that shave off further weight:
Seat post
Upgraded to Lightskin aluminium model
with five integrated red LEDs powered by two internal AA batteries. Fully
extended to the minimum insertion mark (see photos) this gives a distance from saddle top
to lowest pedal position of 31
inches. Combined with Brompton’s low
handlebar version, this provides a comfortable riding position for a person up to about 5 feet
5 inches tall. Significantly taller riders might install a longer seat post. (Bromptons have only one frame size, so seat post length and handlebar height are the only variables.)
·
Almost all detailing is black, creating a subtle
and unified aesthetic.
· Brompton toolkit included. This has been carried separately. To fit inside the main frame tube as intended, the existing Brompfication hinge clamp would need to be swapped for the standard version.
S Nearly-new Schwalbe Marathon Racer tyres, ridden less than 30 miles.
·
Brompton/Zefal frame-fitting pump.
Reason for sale: Reluctant replacement with a heavier,
lower-geared model, to cope with Alpine climbs. However the simpler transmission
of the S2L is lighter and suitable for flattish, day-to-day riding.
