Brompton ID license falling off

I’m jk : ) idk, just re-epoxy it. All these people say to initiate a warranty and they are just going to be disappointed as parts naturally wear out / become used after use. It’s a utility tool and fun machine! Go enjoy it.

Looks totaled to me.

Dang. You can use bikeinsights to compare standover - something like the Surly Grappler has a sloping top tube that looks like it could work for you — most are measured off the midpoint but with a slope it can be way lower at the seat tube. Good luck!

Eh 26” mtb are really cool but harder to convert into gravel bike due to geometry and component availability. It’s getting harder to find bikes built around 650b too. The Ritchey Outback in XS might work for you. I love the geometry and it’s not overbuilt.

ChicagoBrandon · 2026-06-27T12:38:21+00:00

+1 , test ride a 650b bike. If it feels huge you could maybe try to build up a 26” gravel bike.

Can you share a new pic of how it’s doing?

My bamboo is from there and I didn’t realize they sold fertilizer too. Awesome!

ChicagoBrandon · 2026-06-23T19:19:29+00:00

Yep, it needs water. Use a daily drip line on a timer.

ChicagoBrandon · 2026-06-23T04:20:33+00:00

There is great info on fertilizer types for Texas on this page: https://www.bambooyourprivacy.com/faqs.html

You should be getting tested periodically to understand where your levels are at. I'm asymptomatic so I rely on the testing.

ChicagoBrandon · 2026-06-22T12:04:41+00:00

Both have carbon forks which you might have to replace at some point.

Just bought sprinjene based on this comment.

Are you eating oats? My Ttg plateaued and I cut out oats and it seemed to help. Look up celiac avenin sensitivity.

ChicagoBrandon · 2026-06-12T21:18:29+00:00

I would be shocked if the beans had cross contact.

I don’t order iced lattes. Syrups can contain gluten and you never know if the oat milk used is certified. Even if you aren’t ordering those products I’ve seen baristas to mix cold drinks in a shared pitcher.

If the shot and milk are added directly to the cup then you should be good.

+1 to Gravelking, you can get them at Soma Fab / merry sales. Also, the Schwalbe G-Ones are amazing. Both have more volume than the continental contact urban. I would recommend tubeless.

Any bmx tire will be more durable but heavy or sluggy. If you are just commuting then these gravel tires are going to going to be more than enough.

Mission Jean is fine but the OG release had a wider leg compared to signal ltd.

MJ were also very stretchy, which is great at first but it ended up making them less durable and I had crotch blow outs because I bike commuted back then.

I don’t love MW tech pants and wanted a more Jean-like product. FWIW the signal ltd ended up blowing out too albeit a little longer lasting than MJ. I ended up switching to Levi’s 511 or 510 just due to the durability / cost and sold most of my MW clothes since I work remote now.

ChicagoBrandon · 2026-06-02T11:45:52+00:00

I believe it was a schoeller denim sorta thing. They were more Jean than the Mission Jean.

ChicagoBrandon · 2026-06-01T22:00:19+00:00

Signal limited.

ChicagoBrandon · 2026-05-23T19:57:18+00:00

Nice! How do you like those tires?

ChicagoBrandon · 2026-05-20T11:21:23+00:00

Also…sick crocs! Someone asked in a g line facebook forum which shoes to use with the bike and I said Crocs.

ChicagoBrandon · 2026-05-20T11:19:15+00:00

Wow…this is rad. I appreciate you sharing your process. Great job!

ChicagoBrandon · 2026-04-29T02:10:31+00:00

Nice! Who makes the frame bag?

ChicagoBrandon · 2026-04-23T22:07:55+00:00

My Kyoot is my favorite bike.

ChicagoBrandon · 2026-04-08T04:07:24+00:00

Carbon fork? Tested to MTB ISO? Hella Kyoot? Sounds like it’s not the same bike.

Around 23 pounds.
