As a Dane I bought a new 2019 SuperlightM6LXBrompton during high Covid19. for the vacation money saved. Since then I have changed near all the loose parts on my bike to carbon and titanium, the clamps on my mudguards, bolts, nuts and discs, axle in front, bolt and wedge holding the fork and handlebar, part of the brakes, and a slightly padded Selle Italia saddle. It now weighs below 9 kilo and still with mudguards! I have 6 gears and no problems with water and gravel coming in from the strange holes! So I wouldn't waste my money for a new bike. It is possible to buy a titanium frame from China, Taiwan and Korea by that. Finn. Denmark

I've learned so much from watching your channel but I love the look of the modern raw titanium frame and modern fork on the T-Line. Yes, it's incredibly expensive out of the box and customizing it would require thousands of dollars more, especially if you want your Brompton under 15 lbs. I guess it depends on whether or not it's worth it to you. Besides your channel, I watch Brompton Family Time and 781 Brompton Premium Parts. All three of you have different values on what you want out of your Brompton and none of you are wrong. It's a learning experience.

So here in Europe, a self-built Brompron Titanium with high-end components would be significantly more expensive than the Brompton T-line.
Finding parts, postage from Asia or America, customs, sometimes extremely long waiting times for parts, special tools for assembly. Skilled craftsmanship.
I've already built a number of bikes... it was always more expensive than I originally thought. 🤔 That's just the price for an individual bike.

Great, why have you avoided titanium stem? I am thinking of one. I am very interested in your views.

Thanks for sharing.

Buying a Brompton is for nerds. (I might be one of them)
Buying a titanium Brompton for over € 4.000, - is for freaks.
But this video is next level🫣

It's a simple brand change from Hummingbird to Prodrive!!!

Hi i am from Singapore i built my own titanium bicycle after the T line came out . Spend about $4000 sgd . the weight was about 9kg as i couldnt find a light and comfortable seat also for my chain ring and cranks i went with both lite pro didnt feel the need to go carbon as the weight and price was too expensive .

Oh my goodness Daniel. Why are your videos so down on Brompton? What happened? Did Will Butler Adams steal your girlfriend?
