The older 3spds for example can be updated to 6spd if the right-hand chainstay has the little braze-on underneath. Or you might find a 2004ish 6spd with the Sram hub and upgrade it with a new rear wheel with the Brompton Wide Range 3spd hub. Or get Kinetics to do you a 8spd or Rohloff conversion... Lots of possibilities.</p> <p>Maybe also pick up a copy of <a href="http://www.biketrax.co.uk/products.php?plid=m2b0s34p0&amp;tbv=_BIKE_PARTS_AND_ACCESSORIES_Books,_DVDs_And_Maps">David Henshaw's book</a> for research purposes, or join the BromptonTalk group on Yahoo. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2692#post-28633 Tue, 05 Apr 2011 21:27:06 +0000 chdot 28633@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Yes.</p> <p>(Though it depends what you want to do.) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2692#post-28631 Tue, 05 Apr 2011 21:25:19 +0000 Smudge 28631@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>As the title says, if one was to pick up an older basic Brompton, is it possible to upgrade it at a later date? </p>
