So i've really struggled with a case of the Novembers (longingly eyeing all the bikes for sale, Bill's Appaloosa, that Ebisu, that Crust, that Rambler....) and successfully dodged most of them until a Brompton popped up. I was reminded of my visit a few weeks ago to a Brompton dealer (just as i was walking by one...) and i was hooked. I think Brompton should do a kick back program for owners because we attracted a crowd when i went to pick it up and the seller was showing me the fold-unfold-fold. I have to admit that there is something fun about riding these bikes, the steering is a handful until you get used to it, and some of the components are laughingly cheap/crude but it's a fun ride.
I think there are some cross-owners of RBW and Brompton, does anyone have a link to an owners group? I've seen the bromptontalk group on yahoo (too much noise), but looking for a group more similar to RBW. What i'm hoping to find is feedback/experiences on changes, with so much folding i'm worried about making changes that will then affect the folding mechanism. I'm thinking of swapping in new grips, levers, maybe a saddle but wanted feedback before i started ordering things. Thanks for any pointers, I need to go and practice my folding technique, i'm way slower than the videos online! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
