Buying a Brompton - Step 2 - It's all about the handlebars


I was thinking about getting a S model (the model with the handlebars that are T shaped). I liked the look of the handlebars but spraining my ankle made me reconsider this option. When my ankle was still sore I had to rely on being able to push the Brompton along using the Eazy wheels and I realised that doing this would be more difficult if I lost the height I currently have with my Brompton.

Try the H with S bars for a more upright ride or just upgrade your old bike with 2013 spec parts.mark

Yes, thanks for the tip. I was contemplating changing bike from a Brompton (horror!) 'cos of back trouble. An H with M bars may tip the balance in the Brompton's favour (thank goodness).

I don't think you can buy H with s bars but just swap the bars over and alter cable length.mark
