and all that stuff..

how did you get the wide hub in a narrow rear dropout spacing. ?

and how did they lace up? the hub that is not 28 spoke to a rim that at least from Brompton that is.
or did they use a Sun CR18 32 hole rim?

so maybe some upside down detail shots will be useful for the 'across the pond folks'
to get similar modifications done..
got a Mk2 bike for sale , touring , rack M bar, black.
It's not selling well as a humble 3 speed, though asking less than Half
of what a new one goes for.
so maybe subjecting it to that sort of torture will be mechanically, interesting.

that got a 15T cog on the hub? Ive already found a 16t won't fit ..
it hits the end of the rear frame portion's tubes.
I'll take some pics upside down for you. I'm more of a concept person and tell the LBS who do the mods what I want and can they do it? I can tell you they widen the OLD by stretching the rear triangle a few mm without any compromise to the frame or the fold.
