The elastomer shock intergrated into rear triangle is cool——my 5-yr-old niece has a push-bike (no pedals or cranks) with a similar feature.<br /><br />p.s.

On several occasions, I've had a taillight battery die mid-ride without knowing it until I reached my destination. It's good to have a backup.<br /><br />Another great taillight is the Princeton Tec Swerve: http://www.princetontec.com/?q=node/124<br /><br />It's VERY bright, has solid and blinking options, and easily attaches to my Brompton's seatpost.<br /><br />I've been thinking about a helmet light.

I use an ordinary clip-on LED rear light which I clip to the rear saddle bag (in which the travel cover for the bike is usually stuffed).<br /><br />I'd supply a picture but my Brompton is in the shop waiting for a service.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08045326877387488451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924920310995639849.post-58939173165205684112010-04-09T09:06:27.055-04:002010-04-09T09:06:27.055-04:00Anonymous - you're completely right.

Did he show you his new cranks? I was so impressed. That wheel he built... well, someday. Next time I get to borrow the Brompton I will measure the space between the rack and the edge of the roller wheels.Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08036691849337099909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924920310995639849.post-59336801549983292992010-04-09T08:46:39.584-04:002010-04-09T08:46:39.584-04:00I've begun to covet a Brompton.

I think it was admiring Elton's ride- the clear coat finish showing the brazes really works with the smaller bike (to me)<br />I also had the fun experience of watching Brompton Rep demonstrate the folding procedure to a couple buying a set of them, only to watch another rep go through the same schpiel a week later in Spanish in a bike shop in Barcelona....<br /><br />This is a clever way to add a light- are there any limitations to light size to keep it from interfering with the fold?cyclerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10331461189944538729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924920310995639849.post-14233789278861481292010-04-09T07:57:17.891-04:002010-04-09T07:57:17.891-04:00Hi there

I've seen people use it on the back of their helmets (strapped through the helmet vents).<br /><br />http://www.cateye.com/en/product_detail/273Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
