Picked up a scales in Lidl. Offers a load of stuff I don't need, including a BT app. Weighed myself (94kg, needs improvement) and the Brommie (13.6kg, I might put it on a diet as well...)

Distracting myself by looking at cheap #Brompton parts on the #Litepro site, and wondering if the weight savings are worth the risk? What's the quality like? Will installing them on #CiansCheapBromptonProject cause instant death?

First acoustic commute on the new (to me) #brompton this morning, slightly slower than the #RadRunner but very manageable! I've added a couple of lights and my favourite saddle, but I'd like to get grippier flat pedals. First gear doesn't always engage when I'd like, I think I need to adjust the cable tension.

Bidding on the auction bike went to 700 euro, I bailed out at 500.
And one of the other advertised bikes (on DoneDeal) went for about 500, soI reckon that's teh price point for an older 6 speed.

the hunt continues!
