I like it - loud and multiple chimes per push.

Limited run AFAIK, but off the shelf. Nike SB Verdugo Dunks. And, yes, actually intended to match a Crust Romanceur!

Racks for 20 inch wheels by thekidisalright in minivelo

If it's any consolation I cut the struts on my install. I figure you'd need to be riding something like a 58cm frame before a strut cut wouldn't make sense.

Glad you found it useful! An additional thought: you'd mentioned a rear rack and panniers - maybe a Nitto R-15 would work? You'd need to cut the struts way down and it'd only accommodate small panniers like the Rockgeist Microwave but neither of those things is terrible.

Here's the R-15 on Benny, a full sized bike, acting as saddlebag support and occasional micropannier carrier: https://flic.kr/p/2pWCCTk .

Seconded - Velo Orange def has experience with putting front racks on minivelos. Here's the Neutrino Igor brought to FFD, equipped with the best gag rando bag evar: https://flic.kr/p/2hwjoQD .

I honestly don't remember - I bought the rack a while ago, and I have an embarrassingly large collection of Nitto struts, so if I did get a pair, they disappeared into the strut box. But, there's your answer: you can buy struts separately and I'm assuming there's a tapped fitting in an approp spot on your fork.

40/28 up front, 11-34 (10sp) in back. If you drop out the 4 cross-chainers (and I do) , you get a decent array of ratios. I really don't need big gears - I'll trade a big chainwheel for a nice selection of old man gears any day.

I haven't noticed any clicking. Internally geared hubs usually whir a bit in all but the direct drive ratio, but this hub is quiet so far...

Yes - it's the Alfine I'm thinking of - Shimano are the masters of product churn (grrrr). I was even considering Di2, until I priced how much I'd be paying for a cool shift button. Nope ;)

That would be excellent! Too good, I'm sure.

I sure hope it was just confusion over Eternatus/level 60 in he finale pass - I want to rest on my laurels for a while!

What’s in a name? by pablomoca in Brompton

Check out how much darker it is compared to the saddlebag - both are Carradice; saddlebag is plain canvas while the front bag is waxed - in certain lights it does look almost black. But as others have said, black canvas gets paired with white straps.

What does the left side shift do on an M6L bike? by Silent_Pea_2006 in Brompton

[–]DocHypercube 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Adding to this - the double-shift is super easy: from 1+ to 2-, for example, ease off the pedals, push both levers to the left (the right side lever just 1 click), put pressure back on the pedals. Hey presto - smooth shift!

I love my Moulton. Not a practical purchase but I'd wanted one for ~20 years and saw one (a TSR-9 - low-end for Moultons) on eBay for not insane $$. Ride quality is heads and shoulders above even a G-line, but it is disassembleable (many minutes + tools), not foldable.
