@Nathen

I think I lucked out. I picked up this one at Blue Lug in Tokyo. It had a
small bit of damage (just paintwork) so I'm guessing that's why no one
picked it up. I think the sage model is quite a few years old now so it
must of been there a while!

[RBW] Re: Sam sizing advice

[Dominic Ryan]

Hi Will,

I was in exactly the same situation as you, 82PBH and I think they stated 
83 as the minimum for the 55 Sam (I think the sizing has changed a bit now 
so not sure if it will make a difference). I ended up up going with the 
larger model (55 over 51), although it does feel a little taller than my 
other bikes, its totally rideable and enabled me to reuse a 700c wheel set 
I had around so win win! I do ride with set back bars so I guess it might 
be a different story with drops as it would be a fair reach.

I guess if you can try both of them it would be idealI know its not 
always that easy.

Dom

Re: [RBW] Bring Out The Brompton!

[Dominic Ryan]

Hi Jason,

It is indeed (although I live in Japan so Honjo products are much cheaper
here).

There is a tiny amount more clearance, however it seems there is no way to
get a wider tire on the Brompton due to the frame shape (unless anyone here
knows otherwise?)

I'd love to see some wider and more interesting tire options for Brompton!
