Building two Brompton clones

I'm currently working on building two Brompton clones (Actually done building the first one, and transferring parts to the second frame for now). Two have slightly different dimensions (3sixty one is a copy of old Taiwan Brompton and EasyTi is based on current Brompton) but most parts are compatible.



#1 : 3Sixty m3 chrome plated

3Sixty Cromoly frame/fork/handlepost/rear frame (chrome plated version)
Frame modified for external 2-speed drivetrain
820gr Chinese prebuilt wheelset
7.98kg (as shown above)





#2 : EasyTi full titanium (Left one)

Titanium main frame / handlepost /fork (currently shipping) / rear frame (currently shipping)
780gr Chinese prebuilt wheelset (shipping)
Calculated final weight: 5.85kg


Frankly I always thought Bromptons are overpriced boat anchors but those clones are actually pretty good value, with some tuneup.
