Do you have any of this problems? If so, how you solve it? Really nice review, I have a Brompton also and I’m eager to change the pedals to exactly the AR-2’s, but I’ve read some fitting problems on the right one. Do you have any of this problems?

I ride pretty aggressively in traffic. Instantaneous control is key for my survival. So a far-from-the-brake-levers hand position would be used only during the 5% of my total riding time. Confirmed while I had the P-type handlebars: I used the top position almost exclusively. Gavin, thank you.

Would be interested to hear how you get on with the cycle computer.

I opted for M-type bars on my Brompton, because, although the more aggressive riding position offered by S-type bars was attractive, I was worried about the balance of height and reach (I'm 187 cm tall). Using the P-type stem gets around that problem very neatly. Have you considered using stubby bar ends to provide variation in hand position? The Kalloy Uno is an example of a bar end that can be fitted without interfering with the folding procedure, and I think there are others that people have used successfully. Nice work!

I have brompton regis 6 as well as my girlfriend and we both love them. 6 gears is a real use and not only in holland. Have now one here in Latvia and everybody is looking. It is really the best folding bike i have seen. As for the other replier we both have a simple 6 euro (aldi) wireless computer working perfectly. No problems only at some traffic lights interfering with the signal. Nice bike and very good review of the oregon and colorado GPS.

Would be interested to hear how you get on with the cycle computer. I can't find much online about the success of using a cordless computer, apart from the fact that the distance from the fork to the bars of the Brompton is often too much for them to work reliably. Have you had any problems? How easy was fitting? Nice bike, and thanks for the info! Would be interested to hear how you get on with the cycle computer.
