The 2nd guy pointing really helped me understand and clarify what was going on. He is a good addition to the channel. Damn that's light.
I love the kids energy. He made me smile the whole time with his antics. My kids are grown, so I’m missing them when they were little. Oh yeah , love the bike 😉
They grow up fast! He has a unique personality lol.
So cute how he/she points at the bike and tries to mimic the dad 😊. This kid is going to be a Brompton lover for sure 😂.
Wow! That's impressive weight. Thanks for the view.
Wow! 👍👍👍
My wife would kill me if make further investment like you in my expensive Bromton. 🤣😂😅
So many modifications! WOW.
Great to see a video of the build! 8.39kg is light!
ボロントンは夢の自転車です。僕はその自転車を買うためにお金を貯金しています。Greetings from Philippines.
I admiring the kid more than the bike upgrades. 😊
Your kid is so cute especially when he wears that gold helmet. :)
Great Video, oh my gosh the baby’s helmet I love it. :) Much blessing send your way from Atlanta.
🧑🏼🦲 Thanks Victor!
This is Brompton on steroids😅👍🏼Original Brommie bike users like me be like: one day...one day...
I will upgrade too...... only the Ti hook....😅
🧑🏼🦲 Thanks! Little by little is just as good lol
I own brompton almost 1.5 year now. I did not change anything. And im happy with it as it is ☺️
That is great! I think most people will be happy without changing anything. It is a great bike already.
Nice! Brooks Brother saddle too, huh? Stylin bro. ;-)
🧑🏼🦲I forgot to edit that 🤣
awesome build, thx for sharing!
thanks fr sharing
nice one brother! if you happen to visit Manila... lezgo bromming! 🙂
Very nice! It would be great to see an in-depth review for each component.
Amazing upgrade!! 👍👍👍 also really enjoyed the new 4K quality! 👏👏👏
Love all of your videos.
Would love if you made a video listing which parts saved the most amount of weight listed down to the least amount of weight in order.
beautiful upgrade
Thanks!
Gefällt mir sehr🚲👌👍
It really really works
omg that's the most pimped up Brompton I've seen
Very nice video
It’s not brooks brothers it’s another company called brooks 😀😀😀 nice video
Such dedication and commitment, I lack your determination! My S3R weighs over 13kg... : (
🧑🏼🦲Little by little makes a big difference in the end ✌️
Wow, great ideas!
I know it's a lot of work but it would be great to see the parts listed too in the description box, it goes too fast in the video 😁
Cheers Klaus
Thanks for sharing your SuperBike!
Please share links to the Carbon Eazy wheels and Ti parts stem 🙉🙊🙈
🧑🏼🦲You can get them both from Fantasic4toys.com
Hey, thank you for the well
Explained video. I would like to ask, do you think if I get C Line and if I upgrade the front post (the handle post) and the back (seat) post with titanium ones, will make the C Line lighter? I can’t afford T Line and I was hoping if I change the two posts this could make a difference of the weight? What do you think? Thank you in advance for your time. 🤝🤜🤛🌸
Yes they would be lighter, but I don't think the gains is worth it. Unless you are going to carry the bike often, I would not change those parts. I personally would leave a C Line stock and upgrade as parts need to be changed by maintenance.
Wow great video 📹
Hello, nice video, the T line is very light but I don't really like the carbon fork. If we buy a t line, can we find a titanium fork for the t line? Thanks
I don't have any experience with aftermarket forks, but I have seen a picture on instagram of one so I know they exist. I have not had any problems with the carbon fork.
awesome build! say what is the front black pocket you have on your backpack straps? is that for a phone? thx!!
🧑🏼🦲Yes that one is by Manhattan Portage. It's nicely padded to protect my iphone ✌️
Really nice modifications. Looking to get a Ti seat post. What do you think about the Brompfication Ti seat post? Have you used any other Ti seat posts? Any issues with warping or reliability on the Brompfication? Thanks.
👩🏼🦲The berry steel bike I have has a JE Titanium seatpost. That one is nice too. I like the brompfication one better because you don't use the penta clip. It saves weight and so far it stays on the saddle rail and has not moved ever.
Really enjoy your videos!
Is there a reason you like the H&H front light mount? Also would definitely purchase using affiliate links if you posted them, you’ve more than earned our trust with your great insights!
I like the front mount because it is light weight and the ablility to use my current lighting system. If you use a front carrier block bag it may interfere with it so please check before you buy it.
@@BromptonFamilyTime thanks! I didn’t think about interference with the carrier, will look into it :)
As an owner of an original LightweightM6LXBrompton I have just changed to a black 535 mm titanium seat post (China), and before that, at first, "free service", a ceramic titanium crank. I have a black Joseph Kuosac headset to replace the original, and, as a rainy Dane I use mudguards, with the original, lightweight titanium struts. But the metal brackets holding them in place on the mudguards weighs a "lot", so I have ordered a set in carbon to replace them. I look at a new, expensive titanium stem post, but still painted flaming gold, as the original, not to advertise expensive parts, too much. My bike is a Black Version, so I keep it that way for anonymity. But I have changed bolts and parts to golden titanium and carbon, where possible. My titanium fork and back-frame are originally painted black.
🧑🏼🦲Nice I like the carbon mudguards. I may get them in the future 👍🏼 The ceramic BB is also next on my list 😊
@@BromptonFamilyTime I have just changed the axle and nuts in front to a similar titanium, Gold version, as also formerly the brackets holding the axle secure and safe, to titanium, as You. Of course my nuts and discs in the back are also from titanium, as my tensioner. But the small, metal wheels rubbing against the chain makes a lot of noise, so I have gone back to the former plastic version for less noise!
@@BromptonFamilyTime Ceramic BB is a true must.
@@BromptonFamilyTime Honestly, my mudguards are just the ordinary mudguards from the Brompton Factory, with - original titanium struts on a Lightweight model! I also use my bike on gravel passes in the country and round the town, and getting a lot of small stones up my back during that, isn't my idea of fun, as also during rain, if I ever have to ride in it (For now my folded bike is in the back of my car)! I may be able to save a little extra weight, buying a special version mudguards, but to my opinion not enough to pay for the cost of a new set.
For now my bike, still with the original mudguards, weighs 9,35 kilo. I have an extra black, long titanium seat post with an integrated sadle ring-mount for less weight compared with original and heavy seat clamp but for now I don't use it, as I like to be able to fold it inside my black B&W transport box during travels, without any problems. Finn. Denmark
How do you change to the small chainring,and how doez the chain tension work?
Amazing
ur helmet so great, what breand and type is that?
The one in this video is the Triple Eight Brand Citibike Helmet. I'm not sure if they make them anymore.
Shu, what are the biggest gains. Like what are the best parts to swap first to gain largest reduction with good price ?
So far swaped the seatpost seemed quite good deal 40$ for 100+ grams
I would only change parts if it improves performance and as a bonus is lighter in weight like the crankset. Black Friday sales have some great prices on Praxis cranksets usually. EEbrakes and Ciamillo brakes go on sale too. Wheel sets are nice if you upgrade to ceramic and tend to be lighter too. It's never ending so you should plan and add up parts to see if your better upgrading or getting a T Line (I'm not sure what model you have).
Dang, gotta get my Brompton & Run away from monster EBike heavy duty tanks ❤
Your Brompton is the Definition of Pimp my Ride👍 in a good way.
🤔 are these big Glasses for Protection in terms of Wind, Rain etc .. while riding the Bike?
Curious because i have the Problem of Tears while riding in the cold.
🧑🏼🦲 These don't help with tearing. I have the same problem. The only solution is goggles but I haven't found ones I like yet. Let me know if you find any 😊
@@BromptonFamilyTime
😎👍
@@BromptonFamilyTime A friend uses inexpensive sky diving glasses to help with tearing. Might be worth tryin. Lovely Brompton build!
Can you review your Tannus tires? I keep seeing bad reviews about it.
ruclips.net/video/awWtauzUb_c/видео.html
To get the bike to low 8s (kg) like this one, would you suggest upgrading from a c-line or p-line, while factoring in the cost of the bike as well. Is low 8s too much of a stretch for C-line?
When you add up all the cost of upgrading on a C or P, you will more than likely spend enough money to get a T Line. I would not recommend upgrading everything on a C except the basics or else you should just get a P. It's all personal preference, but I just think you will reach a point where you are just better off starting with the best one you can afford and upgrading it slowly.
@@BromptonFamilyTime Makes sense. Knowing this will help me save $ and time. Thank you!
Nice upgrade, and I subscribed! May I ask where you got your parts from? Is there a website?
I buy from a few places. It depends on the part. Fantastic4toys has many items that I buy from. You just have to be patient with shipping.
@@BromptonFamilyTime Awesome! I look to upgrade mine bits by bits over time. I made a mistake when I purchased my Brompton, I went with the C line. With all the Ti parts I want, I should've gone with the P line or even T line lol
Is the H&H double chainring compatible with the stock brompton bottom bracket?
The chainring goes onto the stock crank arms so the bottom bracket doesn't need to be changed. However, you will need to remove the bottom bracket to add the spacer or else the chain alignment will be misaligned.
I bought the P-Line and I would love to upgrade this beautiful bike. I want the same as yours. I don’t know where to look because so many options??!!!
Congratulations! I have bought from many different places but I like to use Fantastic4toys.com since they have a nice variety and the owner is nice!
@@BromptonFamilyTime thank you 🙏🏼 ☺️
Thanks for the update. Did you have any other issues with the Ti bolts stripping out? Can't remember what you were uncertain but you used the stock bolt in the vid cause the Ti one stripped... I think it was the front brake bolt?
🧑🏼🦲I stripped the main crank bolt but It has been replaced already. The bike needs to be on the ground and not move when putting the bolt on. My bike stand kept moving backwards which caused the stripping. The stock bolts that stripped easily were the chain pusher bolts, main brake lever bolt and the main brake caliper bolt. So be careful when removing bolts lol.
@@BromptonFamilyTime thank you!
The 1st word of your cute child will not be Daddy or Mommy
but _Brompton_
How’s the tannus tires feel like? Wet roads?
I have had no problems in the rain riding year round. I don't think the tires have ever slipped on turns in the rain. The only downside is they are slower than air tires.
Any reasons you do not like to use mudguards? Weigh savings vs muds during rainy season?
I don't like cleaning them. I have garbage trucks that dump raw garbage water on the roads and it gets stuck on the mud guards. So, I removed them to make cleaning my bike off easier.
@@BromptonFamilyTime good reason, this relief my doubt to put back mudguard on my Brommie, thks 👍
I will try to modify some mudguards to protect some parts of the bike in the future. I think the bike does look nice with mudguards on the superlight.
@@BromptonFamilyTime I was caught in a rain in London, and debris went to saddle cage causing some scratches at the saddle post paint when I fold-unfold, and I knew it later 🤦🏻♂️ it will not happened if I still have mudguard on my P line.
I also customized my Bromy and got it down to 7.65 kilos Just wondering what you mean by it's smoother than the T-line.
🧑🏼🦲 The T-Line feels sporty. My superlight gears feel smoother with the bearing upgrades and brooks saddle to absorb the bumps.
Nice Build :) at 3:26 you mention two rings. So before you approach a hill you stop and manually shift gears? 😅
🧑🏼🦲You can kick the chain if you practice. Switching it back you have to get off your bike as well. I live on a flat island so I don't have hills so this is only used when I go upstate. I would not recommend this for daily use. You would be better off modding the rear with more gears.
We usually do a 3x3 mod into 9-speed in HK or 3x3 mod with double chainring into 18-speed.
Halo, what parts on the T line do you think would worth the upgrades?
It's probably the same as the other models, the saddle and grips. Everything is not needed. It comes with great parts. That said, I am addicted to modding so I can't help my self!
@@BromptonFamilyTime 🤣🤣🤣
Ist IT posibel to Put a Carbon fork with the Design from t Line in this frame
No the diameter and design are different. The only aftermarket company that makes carbon forks for the older Bromptons is silverock. I have never hard of the company but they make them. www.fantastic4toys.com/products/silverock-carbon-front-fork-rear-triangle-set-for-brompton-bicycle?_pos=1&_psq=carbon+fork&_ss=e&_v=1.0

Whats the feel like using tannus tyres?
🧑🏼🦲BROMPTON FOLDING BIKE TANNUS TIRE 6 MONTHS REVIEW
ruclips.net/video/awWtauzUb_c/видео.html
@@BromptonFamilyTime 😅oops I missed this one.
Added a rear rack to my Brompton. It starts to be bit heavy to carry up stairs. Could use some lighter parts here and there. Which parts you recommend to upgrade to have most effect or are worth the upgrade? I'm guessing seatpost and handlebar?
What model brompton do you have? The seatpost is probably the most easiest. The rest would depend on your budget. For most people, I would change to lighter parts as they wear out. It can get addicting.
@@BromptonFamilyTime M6L but I guess you can call it now M6R
Ti Seatpost / Pedals from Ti Parts, Ti Rack from H & H. I prefer Alu mid-riser handlebar (I use a second-hand Joseph Kuosac). A lighter saddle (although I love my B17 Special @ around 540g which is on the heavy side).
How do you change to the small cog on the chainset
You have to "kick" the chain with your shoe. It's only good for people that don't need to use it often. I only use it if I go up a steep hill in the countryside.
I tried the P Line the other day, and there were a lot of problems with the 4-speed derailleur.... let's just say it's not comparable to Shimano, and I must admit I was very disappointed because it was something I was looking at getting.
🧑🏼🦲Design problems? The gear range has been nice for the city. It wouldn't be enough for touring.
@@BromptonFamilyTime Not enough to go uphill.
The 4spd requires fine tuning but once it's locked in, it's great.
@@714SNF thank you, I'm still tempted :)
what were the heaviest parts? would like to know to just change a few things on mine :D
I always change out the seatpost and pedals (you you want to keep the original then buy a titanium bolt for them). Besides that it can get expensive so I would choose carefully or do them as the parts wear out 🤣
@@BromptonFamilyTime Thanks for the reply! Yeah titanium parts are very expensive xD Only going to change the seatpost for now
Hey, here's a question I hope I'm not the only one asking :
Say I want a touring brompton, for example schlumpf crank + 8speed rear hub.
To minimize weight penalty, would you suggest upgrading from a steel, superlight or t line brompton?
I would get a T-LINE and wait for a conversion kit to come out. I would guess another few months and you will see one.
The T-LINE design will make it easier since it has separated derailleur and tensioner.
CHPT3 V3 is around 10kg with 6 speeds and many established mods available. I prefer Superlight too (used ones are getting cheaper too). T-Line and P-Line are nice but 4-speed are not enough for going uphill (until some good gear mods are here).
How much weight was shaved off using the TPW stem from the original stem?
About 300g difference. 👍🏼
@@BromptonFamilyTime Thank you Shu. Love your videos
Can ask if this is still the 6 speed gearing?
This has a 2 speed system with a 54/33 Tooth Front Chainring. I have owned a few 6 speed Bromptons but I do not have one currently.
Ok, that’s a huge weight savings compare to the 6 speed. I’m going back and forth on a super light 6 speed or a p line. I don’t know if I can get the super light as light as the p line. Any advice? Love your videos especially with your son.
The 6 Speed is heavy so I don't recommend it unless you need the gear range. The 6 speed shifter system is also unique so you may or may not like the way you have to shift. The P Line gearing is perfect for the city and bridges imo. You should definitely test ride them and you will probably know right away which one is right. Good luck.
Thank you for the advice, keep up the good content.
U working for Citibank? 😀
🧑🏼🦲No but this helmet is cheap 😛
@@BromptonFamilyTime U got it! 🤣
How much does it weight tho
The superlight? I say the weight at the end.
@@BromptonFamilyTime lol I was so busy goggling all the upgrades part. Nice video
alright
Are you talking of US dollars?
There are some of the parts you use actually adding weight. Personally I don't like Ti Parts because I think they are overrated and overpriced. They said it is made in HK but it's not. The owner does have a CNC machine but only limited products can be made from that little tiny studio by himself. Most of his products are just made in China. That being said, you can find the same products, such as the stem and handlebar, for much lower price. Pulley wheels are the one you should avoid to change to the aftermarket ones because the stock ones are more quiet and reliable. One thing I didn't see you modify is the rear hinge, which is good because titanium is not the right material for the hinge and bolts, simply just not strong enough and could be dangerous when you ride.
Since you are already a BrommiePlus customer, I suggest you to get a chance to speak to the owner. His name is Jeff. He is a Canadian Taiwanese based in Taiwan. He knows Brompton really well. I learn a lot from him.
Oh, BTW, if you don't really care about the price, there is one of the most overpriced brand - colorPlus. That dude sell $550 for a seatpost or $300 for a ti flat handlebar but they are all well-designed. He doesn't sell a lot in volume but makes big fortune by showing off his new car. Thanks to Brompton users who like to modify their Brompton with unlimited budget.
I have always bought TiParts for many years. They are pricey but I trust their quality overall. I am trying new companies that seem to make good parts. I agree about the hinge pins. I would be scared to use titanium pins. Thanks for the info.
Colorplus is nice but nutty expensive. Ti Parts is still by far the most popular for Brompton mods. H & H makes some nice stuff from Taiwan (its recently launched pedals are really bad looking though). Pedals I would recommend MKS & Ti Parts.
Kind of wasted your money getting a T line. At 8.39 kg just ditch the Tannus tires and it will be at the T line weight.
The T-Line rides different than my superlight. The T-Line has gotten much lighter since this video 🤪
@@BromptonFamilyTime Fair enough. Sadly they can't make them in nearly enough numbers, as the frames are made in a small workshop in Sheffield, so it will be a long time to get one unless they do another lottery to get on the waiting list.You were lucky!
@@sandydennylives1392 He was the 1st person in America to get the T-Line lol
