Alternatively what about taking the front suspension system off a Birdy bike and reengineering it to fit a Brompton. Has anyone ever tried anything like this? I know Steve Perry has done a handlebar stem suspension, however I don’t know if anyone has ever done anything with the front forks?
10 years have past since this post. I came up with the same idea recently and was looking for information, ended up here.
So did anyone actually tried this and had any luck?
I was looking at Prevelo's HEIR FORK for 16inch wheels, it is quite attractive, but is it theoretically doable (despite of the weight and the look..etc, just whether it is mountable or not).
