Hopefully it'll be available to play with next time I'm over that way...

The previous Juliane Neuss kit from years back looked very good but IIRC didn't keep it as a single foldable thing.

Very clever. I'm not sure if I could get on with the MBB, but I like the concept and might consider giving it a try. I wonder what hubs he'll build it with.

I'd feel happier with a little more reclined position, it looks a bit upright, but the builder may have his reasons.
Bromptons as is are spendy enough as is, are they able to retro build older used bikes, .... obviously they retro/ convert new ones to order.
Interesting.

That's the angle the seatpost is being the obvious one.

A Brompton frame is a Brompton frame for the most part, so no reason one couldn't use an old one as a donor bike.

Anything you want to specify, is my guess: a lot of Ben's business appears to be Rohloff and Alfine (8 & 11) kits for Bromptons.
