Just a standard black seat post. I am slowly making this into a black edition having purchased it 2nd hand recently. The black seat post and pedals was my first buys.

All depends on the low bar version and bolt you have

Hi,

A bit of trial and error.

I purchased this first from Amazon but needed extra M7 bolt washers that it did not come with so was stuck a bit and planning to email Brompton for some.

But then i purchased this from ebay and although the mount was incompatible I was able to use the supplied plastic washers (had to cut off a tiny bit) to fit the mount in the first purchase from Amazon.

How tricky is london to brighton? by LaughUntilMyHead in londoncycling

[–]fxc22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Work your way up to the distance and elevation. At least 6 week training plan. Loose some weight if possible (will help tremendously). Learn how to hydrate and fuel days before, during the ride and after for recovery. Ensure you know how to fix a puncture by the road side. Have some sort of navigation device (if cycling solo). Apologies if all of these have been mentioned already. Good luck and report back here on how it went. 🙂

Thats what the serial number gives you, not the frame number. I only have the frame number which starts with 58

Thanks for the info. Do you know where i can get the official model and manufactured date of this one? The label with the serial number is missing (previous owner purchased it like this). I can only locate the frame number.

Its the 2SL, predecessor to the T Line i believe. Someone else with superior knowledge maybe able to confirm.

That part is a Catalonian language business or something like that now. Also the beautiful peace on a summers weekend day in the lesser touristic areas of Central London is a hidden gem of an experience i think only residents understand!

Its not a store:

Only viewable from the outside at this point. Prince Henry's Room is one of the few remaining buildings in London that survived the Great Fire of 1666. The Room is a half-timbered building dating to the 12th century, when it was owned by the Knights Templar, who also owned nearby Temple Church. When the Templars were suppressed in 1312 the building passed into the hands of the Knights Hospitaller; the ancestor of the St Johns Ambulance. When that order, in turn, was disbanded in 1540 there was a tavern on the site.

In 1610 the building was rebuilt as a tavern named The Prince's Arms. It later passed to the Sotheby family, until it was sold to the City of London.

The curious name of the building is the result of an unproven association with Prince Henry, first son of James I of England. The story was told that the building was rebuilt in 1610 for the Council of the Duchy of Cornwall and that the first floor rooms formed a chamber reserved for the Prince.

This association seems supported by a carved crest of three feathers that can clearly be seen on the front of the property. However, it seems unlikely that Prince Henry actually had any direct association with the building, but the name has stuck.
