This bike arrived as a rather tired standard green Brompton, it left with red Rohloff hub gear, SON hub dynamo lighting, Hope hydraulic discs and some other lovely touches. Continue reading “Upgraded Green Brompton”

A simple, clean build for this bike – just a Rohloff 14-speed hub onto a Brompton, with one of my integral racks. Continue reading “David’s Rohloff Brompton”

This bike has everything! Alfine electronic Di2 gearing, Hope hydraulic disc brakes, and a Nano electric motor system. The lighting is also powered by the Nano battery.

This Brompton – with Rohloff hub, SON lighting, and disc brakes – has a matt nickel finish. I really like this finish, it’s very tactile!

This is a very custom bike, with repainted frame and Velocity rims painted to match.

Rohloff 14-speed hub gearing, SON hub dynamo lighting with Edelux front light, Hope Race hydraulic disc brakes.

Chris King headset, Gilles Berthoud saddle, Ergon grips, H-type stem with straight bars and Acor stem riser.

And my integrated rear rack.

This was a fascinating bike to build – it’s got a 2-speed Sturmey Archer kick-shift hub with a belt drive.

Brass mudguards, bell and leather grips from Sogreni.

Hope hydraulic disc brakes with braided hoses.

Brooks Cambium saddle, titanium seatpost, black bars, clamps and pedals.

And a brass headbadge to match 😉

With an integral rack, Rohloff hub, Cinq5 shifters, SON lighting and Spyre disc brakes – oh, and a Chris King headset!

Built with an integral rear rack, the rear triangle was wire brushed and left as bare stainless steel.

Another colour combination I wasn’t sure about, but it works really well – a simple build, with an Ivory frame and a red Rohloff hub.

This bike has a polished nickel frame (a lot of work, I’m not doing that again!), with black extremities.

Rohloff gearing and Hope disc brakes.

SON hub dynamo lighting.

Cinq5 shifters.
