Aussie on a Brompton

Omafiets’ phone call told me that my Brompton CHPT3 was now ready & so without much delay I headed for the shop. After fitting lights & swapping to Presta-valve tubes, I rode off into the night to a celebratory dinner.

Being somewhat blog-quiet of late & often wondering whether there’s something from our little rides that’s blog-worthy, I’ve just had an event (momentous even?) that probably qualifies?

Omafiets in Sydney had an event to present the latest iteration of Brompton CHPT3, the David Millar-inspired lightweight Brompton. With very limited CHPT3 numbers coming to Australia, Omafiets were conducting a ballot to purchase the 2 bikes allocated for Sydney. David was on-hand to talk about the concept & conduct the Sydney ballot draw.

A very pleasant evening of drinks, nibblies, chats & talks before the business of the draw. First number drawn went to ticket holder 01 – wasn’t that me? Yes! Congratulations came from all directions & then the next draw for another lucky winner – Sari. (See pic of winners with David Millar)
