thats looking quite sweet

what about polished ?

 

[legrandefromage]

dare you to put flat bars on the original stem

 

[velomaniac]

Methinks a Brompton was inspired by those, certainly inspired to do better which they are

The bars are meant to flop about a bit, not very securely fixed but nonetheless a classic and surprisingly common

hmm I thought red but its not really my colour. Oh and do the bars flex... had a spurt up the hill by my house and its not a bike you can thrash its hilariously whippy up front. I want to change the wheels but its impossible to find decent 14" and 16" rims with the right hole pattern.

Would look good painted

Used to know a painter/decorator that had one of these :shock:

Im going to try something different for this after mulling it over this week, I'm going to vinyl wrap it in wood effect and add some paul smith style stripes up the front end. Still waiting for my new cables and Regal saddle to arrive, also managed to score a rack for the back for it.

just waiting for decals and a LH Nexus brake lever and shes nearly done!

The cats don't seem that impressed, mind you. Probably because it doesn't involve food.
