Hi all,

Yesterday I sold my NWT so I have room for a second folder. I am thinking of a super folder for short rides to complement the TSR. The natural choice is a Brompton and I am considering this configuration.

* M type (low weight)
* 6 speed lowered gear
* No mudguard (it's sunny around here)
* No rack (light and simple)
* Standard seat pillar (light)
* Brompton saddle (don't plan long rides)
* Brompton Kevlar tires (light)
* Firm suspension
* No lighting (light, can use battery light if needed)
* No front luggage
* Eazy wheels
* Cover and saddle bag (covering when getting into places)

My questions to you are

1. Anything in the above configuration I should change?

2. The brochure says that no-mudguard-no-rack option does not come with fitted pump. Where is that pump is fitted? Is it good? Can I buy the mudguard option and use the pump without the mudguards? Does it make sense?

3. If I don't have mud guards and rack, can I still park the bike in that signature Brompton semi fold standing position?

4. With the above configuration, will I be able to roll it easily when folded? Should I make any change here? (I read something about people using after market small wheels).

5. The minimal front luggage option in the brochure is Front Carrier Block Only. I don't plan to carry anything. Can I drop it from the order? Can I buy it latter if I change my mind? How much does it add to the weight?

Anything else I should be aware of?

Thanks,

Kam
