In my previous Blog posting, I attempted to explain how specifically my 3 Bromptons have become 5. Actually, much of the action revolves around how 2011 Ralph transitioned to 2025 Dan.

Back in 2021 the Alfine 11speed gear was shed & here’s the BB named creation, still wearing the 2011 mainframe (& stem) but with a lightweight 3speed setup of 8.3kg.

Tinkering happens & by 2025 the 2011 mainframe & stem combined with other steel rear frame & fork parts to become Dan, a minimalist 2speed local pottering B – funnily enough weighing 8.3kg.
