I contacted Len Rubin because I wanted this project to take off. I suggested selling Brompton upgrades just to raise enough money to be able to bring the Ti Brompton to production. The "Special" pricing he gave me for the Ti adjustable stem was near US$1000.00. I asked how many he has sold and he said none.
I offered support for his business on social media and a responsive website, so people could learn more about his project from other platforms other than a desktop (phones, tablets, etc). He said his wife was taking good care of their marketing and he didn't need anything.
Too bad. I am willing to sell one of my top road bikes to buy an Extra-Light Bromptoneered folder, but time is telling me that my money will not go to the ultimate folding bike project.

in Thailand that sells mostly titanium parts for a certain British
folding bike. Just getting ready to order their ti seatpost. Anybody

some room for some one to just get a Ti main frame replica of Brompton's own in a Chinese Factory
they already make the rear and Fork sections done abroad.. make it Retro-compatible
the X old Ti Seatpost , i think the sub -contract deal fell apart, the necking down to 7/8" let the pentaclip work
It offers setback after market ones seem to be zero setback.

My brompton seatpost is the original Ti, the one with the blueish hue. Should I be concerned with safety issues?

I was talking to a dealer(BFold in NYC), and they said B'ton customers were
complaining of scratches from the post going up and down.

Could've done a better job of routing the rear brake cable.

Sharp elbows...
I like the general design, but there's something about the seat-stays not paralleling the downtube that just throws it off for me. Of course, if they did, I'd be complaining about way too long seatstays and an obnoxiously large triangle formed by the st/tt/sstays...

Reminds me of GT's frames,so I'm fine with that. Was going to harp on the parts spec,but after running the price through a currency converter,it's actually reasonably priced.
