NBD...Unique Brompton

This afternoon I am picking up a new Brompton, but one that will be unique at this time. I love the lacquer finish, but I do not like the silver parts. I found a shop that was willing to swap the black parts from one bike for the silver parts on the lacquer bike. Pics later today.

Got her home and she is beautiful, and maybe the only one. The trunk pictures are my Brompton in the trunk of my FRS with room to spare.

This is about the best for today, since I am heading out MTBing (not with the Brommie).

I have a black cambrium saddle on the countertop waiting to go on tonight. I did a long test ride before buying, but that was before the parts swap. So, tomorrow will be the second first ride.

Read some feed back on Broken rubber of Cambiums , but I think they were MTB riding on them. Good Luck.

I have about 4000 on the one on my commuter with no issues, so it should be fine on the brommie.

The Brompton tool and Ortlieb/Brompton bag, both of awesome quality.

I didn't manage to get as much black as you, but the change in the mud guards makes a big difference.

The black fenders are a nice improvement, imo.
