The Brompton folding basket bag is my most used Brompton bag by far. I have the
older design and it swallows a lot of groceries including odd shaped items.
I may splurge for the new model since I do like that it has a zippered pocket
on the outside.

All,
Back forever ago when I first mounted a front basket to my Saluki, then CB-0

Is there a Brompton bag that replicates thi

Jim,
I've had this exact thing happen, but only on a Brooks Swift that got
soaked a few too many times. My B17 Select and B17 Imperial do not have a
similar twisting pattern. It looks weird, but it's pretty comfortable.

Not for me, but my Impala is a very long sedan. Front wheel off, slide rear
first until the tire hits the backs of the front seats. Works a charm but
it helps big time if the rear doesn't have 2 or 3 pounds of rack attached.

Adam asked about nutrition:
My particular situation is that I have been a low-carb eater for several
years. I'm not overly zealous about it, but I do find that my body is good
at fat burning, so "bonking" is not a thing for me on long rides.

want the standover to be any higher. In regards to how stretched out those
early Sam's were, my 62 cm has a front center of 65.3 cm and chart above
shows the 58 cm at 64 cm FS on the earlier models. 67 cm FS on the 64.
i use a roof-mounted Thule and a Rockymounts (not sure the models--they're
similar--both of the wheels stay on the bikes) on a Subaru Outback. I am
not 100% confident in either of them, though I do prefer the Rockymounts.
The Thule arm over the front wheel tends to slip, and I end up nervously

I'm curious to hear about your and others' nutrition strategies. I've not

I dont think the standover is a huge issue, but be aware that those first
gen sams are really long. They were one of - if not the first - riv model
to use "expanded sizing" increments and sloped top tubes. I think a 56

Additionally the Sam is a great country bike and limestone trail rides are
right up its alley. If I was looking for lighter and zippier with some

lighter with stuff removed as well. A double top tube 64cm steel bike will

What if you got a stem and mtb handlebar, cut off the length of the
handlebar you don't need and then mount the stem to your seatpost? Could
look rather snazzy!
