roving70,

Excellent idea. I'll look into it today, as well as make a real attempt at figuring out the front derailleur situation.

So you cut down your steering stem, huh? That's a good idea as it is quite long; I didn't even think to do that.

Post some full pics of your bike, would love to see the full effect of the Brompton bars on this bike.

One other thing I would like to figure out is how to make the cap at the top of the stem quick release (so I can quickly rotate the handlebars ala Dahon).
