Buying My First Brompton?

I disagree. The additional strap is not needed and there are a lot of parts at that bike that are not original.

Brompton is awesome, but I prefer Tiramisù milk shake custard, trust me man

Did he say rusty Will a quality like Brompton rust ? Or Is it a lower quality cheaper version I liked all features though What's this model And Price ?

Thanks! Will revise the title:)

I agree, laying it down, the different style pedals, understanding that the seat post being not all the way pushed-in keeps a bike from being locked... I have been binging everything Brompton for the last week after finding out about them while shopping for compact bikes. This demonstrator was very thorough

Yes indeed, very helpful :)

"Second gear to "freewheel" ?" Where did THAT idea come from? It is nonsense. All 6 gears freewheel FREELY, and the bike can be safely folded in ANY gear. You have to ask yourself, where does that kind of bullsh*t come from? However, the "unfold the pedal first" advice is good.

Thank you!

Yummy. Mine's pale blue, but no rack.

I wouldn’t call it the best but nothing comes close to a brompton for foldability.

Your spelling isn't.

Hi Emmy, do you order direct from UK?

I'm looking at doing the same thing.

@@Lisawuhy123 from my country's brompton junction store. Unfortunately due to covid I have to wait a little longer as there has been some delays

From where did you order? Which model and price?

@@sameeracee I answered above.. I got mine from a Brompton Junction store..

Wishing you all the success mate!

@domifab101 for real. Those things are super strong. I see 300 pound truckers riding them at rest stops to get a little exercise in. It's great fun.

Me WATCHIN this comment on my third slice of pizza 🍕 🍕🍕😂🤣💩🤪

Have you bought a brompton yet ? 🚴‍♀️

The Chpt 3 is a fab looking bike...

Jamie Lim that it is.

You need two then, one for each arm :)

Thank you 🙏

I am really falling in love with it...

How much does the bike weights? Can I buy one in the U.S

Miguel Gerardo Yeah, many U.S. bike shops have them, & they could tell you the weight, which will vary depending on how many accessories you add. Also can ask at www.brompton.com

And here I am a week later, with my new Brompton, rewatching this video!

Hoping to be doing the same soon :-) I'm heading into winter so I'm not in a rush I'm trying to absorb all the information and make a wise investment. What model did you end up choosing?

@@NoZenith long reply incoming! I went with the M6L. As it was explained to me by the shop guy, if you're torn between the 3 and 6 speed, you may as well get the 6 because the weight increase is negligible (the 3-speed hub is the heavy part, not the derailer + extra cog). And although the 2 speed would've saved much more weight (again, that 3-speed hub), I didn't think the limited gearing would be wise for touring, which I hope to eventually do. Also note that the 3-speed hub on the 3-speed models is actually different -- and geared more "narrowly" -- than the hub on the 6-speed models, further making the case for the 6-speed. As for the handlebars, I was torn between the S and M (ha) for a long time. Both were comfortable, though the S felt more familiar because I'm used to riding a road bike. However I ultimately decided it would be better on my back & shoulders not to be in the more aggressive position of the S bars for touring or longer, more leisurely rides. Also, it's easier to switch your bars from M to S than from S to M if you change your mind later, because the cables need to be lengthened in the latter case. Lastly, the rear rack was easy to pass on, since I don't like the way they look and you can always buy the rack separately later down the road. (There's also loads of cheaper and/or cooler looking racks available through after-market retailers, so don't feel like it's the Brompton one or bust.) The only thing I'm still torn on is whether or not to upgrade to a telescopic seatpost. I have the extended post on there now, which I need, but it means the seat doesn't fold down as low as with the regular or telescopic seatposts. The seat can be removed for traveling, it's more a matter of aesthetics. (The telescoping post does make the seat easier to steal though.) Anyway if you're on the fence, one final assurance is that they keep their resale value EXTREMELY well (as you may've discovered if you've checked eBay), so it's much easier to pull the trigger when you know you can resell it for near full price if you don't like it. But I absolutely love mine, and find myself feeling bad not wanting to take my road bike out as much anymore. 😂 Hope that helps!

@@vigorousera extremely helpful! I don't think I need the rack either. For the most part I only want the rack for the better stability when collapsed and rolling around than that little fender wheel offers but I even found a direct replacement dual wheel for that fender wheel while researching! I'm considering the H&H titanium Q style mini rack since it's cheaper in some sites and about one-third the weight of the Brompton aluminum rack. I'm trying to get ahold of one other that has carbon rods with titanium tips that you assemble with little titanium bolts and nuts at the joints. Looks really slick and would weigh a fraction of pretty much any other rack out there but would give you that extra little spread for stability when Wheeling around in public. I understand the brittleness of carbon rod but I'm not planning on carrying weight on it I just want it for mounting Wheels. I am 6 ft 1 with a 33 inch inseam. Do you think I would need the extendable post? I'm seriously considering investing in the titanium post so I can shake a couple pounds off without messing with the fork and the rear end cuz that gets ridiculously expensive. I'm waffling between the H and the M Bar because I've never ridden one before, being on the tall side and wanting an upright relaxed position, I worry the M stem is going to be too short.

@@vigorousera ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1AriG4stMr4.html Here is the ultra-light titanium / carbon one. Also trying to figure out if it would fit the mud guard. That's a must with me.

It’s a 6 speeder Ti model:)

Yes, it’s possible, in fact, there are hard cases available.

Well not in the same manner as a bicycle with full suspension springs. It’s a simple dampener block to mitigate bumps..

Yup mine came with it:)

I wanted titanium and the 2017/2018 models were way too much...strangely, I like the old shifters
