The saddle my Brompton P line Urban came with was a 'fizik' it was PENURY to sit on !

My Brompton Birthday Present (to self)
Просмотров 3,9 тыс.Год назад
Today 13/03/2023 is my 76th birthday. I celebrated by purchasing a Brompton
Hi David, wondering how things are (November 2024). Just done some work on 'unfreezing' my derailleur lever shifter. Fiddly.
F*** the RUclips algorithm for not notifying me about this video... and thanks for still being there. Stay strong
@@EntropiaOrganizada That is a very kind sentiment, however the algorithm can’t really be blamed. It recognises my channel is circling the drain as I have failed to post for a while. I thank you for this and previous contact.
David, thanks much for the update.....and remember, we are all pulling for you! I think you should upgrade your Brompton to the model and speed that you want.... Reward yourself for your recovery and your determination to move onward and upward! Blessings to you!
Your blessings are gratefully received and I thank you for another kind comment
You are loved.
@@Johann-4354 I thank you sincerely for this and other valued comment Johan
Would a 39 tooth sprocket up front help?
My bike shop says it takes 500 miles of riding to break in a Brooks leather saddle. Whew!
RUclips is what I also subscibe too, period.
Wish I could move around as easily. I'm also 77. Love riding my junker bike around town. Single speed home made bmx.
I've heard of Bromtons. Never seen one other than videos. ELEGANT, engineering. I love seeing them in action. Amazing machines.
Life is so much more beautiful when we understand how fragile life is and dependant we are on the blessings of the Lord.
I'm acquainted with this, stay strong. Johann Kuester, 228 West 700 North, Brigham City, Utah 84302, U.S. of America. Write.
How does the P-line compare to the C-line. Is it simply gears. Also, could you do an in-depth video with close-ups of your machinne? No, not an owner but investigating.
Very nice production work. You hang in there, brother.
@@peterbedford2610 Kind and encouraging Peter, thank you
I am so happy to hear you are doing well! If you get up to Paris, the coffee is on me.
Forgive late response and thank you for the kind offer of coffee, you are a gentleman
Hi David, if you want an easy outing take the train to Bordeaux, I’ll meet you at the station and we can do the quays of the Garonne. Via the unique Jardins de l’Ars and the new Pont Simone Veil. Very flat. Very easy. Lots of refreshments available en route.
@@Alan2Bordeaux Hello once again Alan and thank you for this invitation and great idea. I am presently committed to a number of personal projects that are taking far longer than expected, but it’s something we could put on simmer for a future ‘co-lab’
So good you see you back in the saddle David and pleased to hear that you’ve a clean bill of health!! I look forward to joining you on your Brompton travels wherever they may take you! Stay safe and take care 🙂
@@robertnewman8239 Thank you for a very kind comment Robert
Cher David, je suis très heureuse de vous retrouver en meilleure forme après avoir traversé avec un grand courage cette longue épreuve de la maladie. Éloignée du Gers,je ne vous oublie pas et vous renouvelle toute ma reconnaissance et mon amitié. MACRINA
Merci beaucoup Macrina, j'espère que tu vas aussi bien et heureuse
Welcome back!🎉
Thank you so much @curiouspenguin
Such a nice comeback story. I checked on your channel sporadically and was worried when there were no updates. Be well and hopefully your strength will return in time.
@@dennis_gentile Thank you @dennis for a kind comment
So happy to see your smiling face on the tube! Really glad you are clean and recovering. I got hit with Aortic Stenosis last October and ended up with major cardiac surgery followed by a pacemaker implant in April so I fully appreciate how you must feel about your diagnosis and recovery. Keep the videos coming. The valve job delayed a trip I was going to take - the Via Rhona - Perhaps next spring 😊- I love to watch videos like yours as they give me ideas.
Thank you for leaving an interesting comment @rover-dave, prompting me to look up both Aortic Stenosis and Via Rhona. Both terms I had heard of but with little real knowledge. Like me, I imagine you will be re-evaluating what is now doable and concentrating on the quality of life moving forward. I wish you the very best of recovery and health.
Just discovered your channel 😂. Was the nurse cute at least ??
Ha Ha … I never correct people who are kind enough to leave a comment hamalot, but the surgeon who sat on my bed is a MAN. The French are tactile. However, if you wanna see a cute nurse, go to my latest video and plough through to where I’m being injected and I will show you ‘’cute’’
@@davidsbrompton-1947 just saw the video. You weren’t kidding 👍cheers from Canada. FYI, I have a 6 speed brompton myself.
Great to see you, and I’m delighted about the good news. Don’t feel you have a lot of explaining to do (as you said at one point, let’s look to the future! I see this as one of the nice corners of the internet… isn’t it amazing how we have all come together through this medium?
Thank you @graham for commenting. No one is more surprised than me at the 'quality of people who have come to the channel and now I see they give 'thumbs ups' to each other's comments, adding another layer of niceness. Who knew ?
So happy to see you back David!! I know recovering your strength will take time but it’s so good to see you are able to go out on your Brompton!! Amazing news about the cancer being gone. Sending healing thoughts and looking forward to your next video 😊
I have twitched my antenna and am receiving your "healing thoughts" Gilbert. I am impressed with where you have taken your photography and am honoured to have you on board.
So nice to see you back and using your Brompton. This year my wife and I drove down to Perpignan from the Isle of Man and stopped in Agen. It's lovely by the river but quite busy on the traffic front especially getting back onto the péage. We had my wife's e-bike and my mtb in the back of the car. I can empathise with you about the ditches and the side of the French D roads, precipitous and deep would be putting I t mildly and they re very very close to the edge of the tarmac. My wife hates the D-roads without a white central marking as they really aren't wide enough for 2 vehicles - well maybe just. Have you thought about getting a SWYTCH kit for your Brompton ? It replaces your front wheel with a wheel with a hub motor and will give you electric pedal assist. I recently bought one to install on an mtb for my wife and they are surprisingly good, lighter than I thought they would be and have about 40mile range. I believe that they are plane legal so you can fly with your bike if you want to go further afield. I often see Bromptons on the TGV here in Perpignan heading down to Barcelona. I wish you well after the all clear on the cancer front.
Thank you John, I agree on all points, but make it a firm personal rule never to utter a criticism about the French as I have seen it build into a poison with others. When things don't go my way, I laugh it off (mostly) I am aware of decent after market electric kits and will reiterate why I am a 'P line" man in an upcoming video.
Beautifully done, David, THANK YOU! Wonderful filming, great music, and - of course - your warming presence finely captured. Sincerely glad to be connected.
Norman, Norman .... You flatter, you are regular ... And I love it
You are there … SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU DAVID ❤, I missed you. Welcome back 😊🫶🏼🙏🏼 and it doesn’t matter if you don’t speak « Brompton », you are a great human, « Brompton » will (maybe) come later. Come again, come and talk to us.
Monique, such kindness, such warmth ... So appreciated
Welcome Back Lad! Not that you went away, but welcome back nonetheless!
Roland, can you imagine when I was last referred to as "lad" ? It's both friendly and amusing. Thank you
Wow David ! It’s wonderful to have you back and great to learn that your treatment was successful. I look forward to your next video. all the best, Cliff
I am very happy for you. I am sure that with time you will be 100% your old self
You are kind to comment again @anah, it’s appreciated
Good to have you back.
Thank you @smitti, pleased to hear from you
Welcome back David. I also had a cancer scare but think I'm over it too.
Hello Julian, went and looked at your ‘cancer’ videos. They were shockingly frank but accurate
So beautiful David so very happy that you are well❤
Hello again @Hawknflyt, thank you for your kindness
Schön, dich wieder zu sehen. Vor allem, dass du dich nicht unterkriegen lässt!
I hope I’m past the dark days Andrea, thank you
Great to see you back..
very kind my friend
Excellent news David! I’m glad you took the time you needed to heal. Your strength will return as you ride. À bientôt ❤
Thank you @jc for this encouragement
Well David i never thought i would ever see you dropping your trousers, even so GREAT to see you back and out and about, Strength David xx
Just to add 'GO get that Ti brompton David' !! DO IT X
I was (please note, past tense) always the first one naked at an orgy !!! Thanks as ever for great comments
Hi David, great to see you out and about and making great progress. Best Regards.
Thank you James, you are appreciated
Great to hear that you are cancer free now and on the road to recovery. 🎉🎉
Can you imagine the relief Sister ?
Hi David, thank you for the update, was also pleased to see your Brompton in the boot of your Fiat as I’ve got an Abarth Rivale so I now know that my Brompton will fit in it.
I am So jealous Neil .... But still love you
Fantastic news David on your clean bill of health 👏 😃 Great video and small insight into the French health care system 👍 plus loved the section on lawnmower...... brilliant 👏 . Couldn't you do some short videos of the local area ? I'm sure it's lovely plus your filming technique and dubbing brings a lovely perspective of things 😊 Go on treat yourself to the Titanium Brompton..... well deserved for beating cancer 💪💪💪💪👍
Ha Ha, thank you Mark. You are intuitively ahead of the channel. Of course I would love to up grade the Brompton and will explain more fully later on. Great comment !
❤@@davidsbrompton-1947
Just wanted to say/add, it was the 'Brompton' in 'David's Brompton Life', that attracted me to the channel...but it's 'David's Life' that is keeping me here, no matter the content. Privileged to watch ❤
I am a cunning old bugger Neil. Supper comment.
Welcome back sir.
Thank you kindly Sir
Thank you so much for sharing David. Inspirational. ❤
Great to see you back!
SO pleased to be back, thank you
Excellent news. Well done. Great to see you again.
Most kind, thank you Grant
Your video made my day, David (as did last week's teaser). Welcome back and I am so glad to hear that you are cancer-free. Yes, your videos were missed; but in my case (and others may agree) what makes your videos interesting is you, and your stories and way of expressing yourself. Naturally, the Brompton, and France, and "green" subjects are all a draw to your channel - but in the end, I am just glad that YOU are getting better. Of course, that will take a while, and your self-confidence will, as you say, need to return. Videos may have to take a back seat, and you are right not to commit to any particular time-frame regarding frequency or regularity on that front. You allude to the word "Friend," a noun whose meaning has somewhat coalesced over the last couple of decades. But as a fellow Anglo-Frenchman, I certainly felt the warmth in your good news; that a friend of mine was well.
Lovely comment, appreciated Boxer
La Brompton te servirá para fortalecer los músculos. Me alegro de las buenas noticias. 🙏
gracias Fátima,
Thank You so much for sharing with us.
Thank YOU Rolf for watching
I had this procedure done recently as the doctors here in Austria where I live now (I am British like you and now a permanent resident here) thought I might have Parkinson´s. The scan showed I do indeed have Parkinson´s. I am so glad you have now a clear diagnosis. Now, even more, just as I am doing, it's essential to suck out more of the very marrow of life and enjoy it! I was late in having my visit to the doctors with this so my Parkinson´s is at a more advanced stage. The three biggest things it affects are my walking, being able to hand write which I used to adore with my fountain pen. The only thing I cannot do now is Cycle, Still, I walk with sticks now so can still get out and about and I write my journals now on my Mac so its still not beating me as what you have gone through has not beaten you David! I love the little Fiat I am fortunate to have lived a life of adventure and wonder so I can look back on those marvellous memories. I did not make much money at those things but as I am sure you know, especially now, that really is not important! So lovely to see you back with your wonderful videos, I am looking forward to many more and even more so, so glad you have good health returning! Best wishes, Ian
Ian, I will be brief. Thank you for a wonderful comment shared with courage, appreciated
Superb David, looking forward to hearing about your electric car. See you again soon. 😀
Oh the car will be co-staring with the Brompton certainly Rick
