Thank you everyone. Patrick: I thought of you when I realised the subtle but welcome difference in riding position brought about by a couple of cm change in bar height. Nothing crazy - just different, and better for now. Nice too to hear that the tweaking doesn't stop even after 40 years! PS: A Brompton is great. It grows on you. Surprisingly fun in a very different sort of way. Took me a while to get everything set up as I like though - the challenge was saddle setback!
Jason + Nick: The 'fat Riv / thin Riv' combo (to borrow Blue Lug's terminology) is great, isn't it. Nick, I couldn't have put it better myself when you said the Roadini allows you to 'feel fast and free'! Jason - embrace the RRLs! I'm honestly surprised how much I like them. I like fiddling with the QR buttons as I wait at stop lights too. On Tuesday, 10 March 2026 at 14:55:16 UTC+10:30 Nick A. wrote: > Agreeing on all counts.
