Thanks, Bill; this is useful. I'll give them a look-up.

Rick: which basket is that? Aliexpress & typing "brompton + titanium"
certainly brings up some lovely items too.
I'm thinking of doing a strip down to raw metal & lacquer over the winter
as I love that look.

That is a Wald 582 folding metal basket, with a Trigo adapter plate
modified to fit it to the carrier block. It is not light, but nothing on
mine is...
Mine came as the "raw lacquer", but from the factory it is really a paint
color and not just raw metal with lacquer over. I am using metal blui
Nice to see all those cute pictures!
Wondering if the Bosco bar would work for a Brompton.
Brompton is in my N+1 list, but Bosco is a must.

Ash,
A Bosco can be done if you can make the reach and folded math work.
The clamp is 25.4 and the mast folds down so the reach-back juts away from
the bike. You'd have a bigger folded footprint but still crazy compact
relative to storing or transporting a full-size bike.
The ETT is about 60
Anyone have a picture/experience of a Brompton set up for a taller (~6’3”)
rider? Asking for a friend.

Joe,
Thanks for those useful tidbits. Now it is even more interesting. This
type of project is right up my alley.

I’m only 5’ 11” with an 86 cm PBH. I have one Brompton with a standard seat
post and one with the telescoping seat post. The standard post is about perfect
for me at full extension. I use maybe an extra inch on the telescoping post.
You’d need the telescoping post and likely the H bars as well.
Eric, the sage green Brompton in the picture I included in my earlier post
above is equipped with the telescoping seat post. My PBH is 96cm.

I got loose at Aliexpress today & ordered a titanium seatpost (600mm) since
the one I have is pretty gouged in places. That & the little phone holder
that mounts on the stem bolt.
My lack of self control will probably have me returning for the titanium
rear rack too!

Welcome to Brompton ownership, a black hole you pour money into. It's worse
than the racks-and-bags journey we go on for our Rivs! 😂

Dominic,
Hahaha. These are a high ticket item.
Is your personal bike? Is the clearance any different than with the Brompton
plastic ones?

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
Dom,
Wider tire? Give me a month for a ride report :)
The largest tire made for 349 rims is the 349X1 1/2. They work out to be about
38-40mm in practice. That fits the fork on all models and the rear frame on
many, but not all. Ti models are a little tighter. The real pinch point is the
rear
Thanks Jason!
I did look into those before, but the reviews didn't seem to be too great.
I'll take look at the ones you recommend! Thank you so much!

Thanks!
