E = mc^2 means that mass is condensed energy, and in its purest form, energy is light. Perhaps matter cannot go faster than light cuz nothing goes faster than its components, so all matter consists of light. A reinterpretation of portraits and quantum mechanics, my kind of portrait 😊
Her eyes confirm the thesis of matter as condensed light. And her lips the curved surfaces in Riemann theory. That one that says that each straight line is actually an immense circle. A straight line that closes but never ends. Like a love story.

The Brompton: Mark 4 model. Year of production: 2009. Frame # 285337
The tutorials and lots of technical informations are written in french on www.bromptonforum.net, see other pictures of this album to discover the weblinks. Read mainly: "Ten ways to boost its Brompton" (French): www.bromptonforum.net/t3984-bien-commencer-en-brompton#58155
My purposes: searching for the most efficient components and avoiding exaggerated costs (second hand, best quality/price ratio, no titanium bolts, no new light carbon crankset, no expensive cable housing ...). So through simplicity and efficiency, get first optimized mechanical results. Also achieve some personal handcrafted decorations: original engraving on metal and painted design, an occasion to practice the handcraft ...and through this project, learn technics and interact with other fans and friends... I hope this complies with the design and the thinking of Andrew Ritchie.
Contact Abeillaud: www.bromptonforum.net/u809
("Abeillaud" means "male bee", it's a french word fallen into disuse).
Below, I use the "official" vocabulary to indicate the Brompton's parts.
Look at the otther pictures of this album for close-up and details (follow #).
--------#1 THE WHEEL SET-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The best wheel set for a handsome Brompton, I think : Velocity AeroheaD rims (BSD 349) and double butted spokes Sapim Laser (2.0/1.5). It's an usual modification but this set includes only double butted (DB) spokes, even on the BWR hub. In my opinion wheelbuilding with 28 spokes for each wheel is the best choice. Sometimes seen on the front wheel, wheelbuiling with 14 or 16 spokes: I agree, it's has a particular look, but don't do that to optimize mechanically and to save only a few grams. Unfortunately, for an ultimate set, AeroheaD (weight 235 g and width 20 mm) is not longer produced since end 2011 and is replaced by Velocity A23 rim (fortunately with similar characteristics, 255 g/23 mm), same fate for the Velocity AeroheaT rim (285 g/24 mm).
Conclusion: a very good mod for more rigidity, lightness (rotating parts) and finaly to improve the general quality.
For me, the first meetings with great Brompton fans on the occasion of a group purchase that I organised.
More info on the wheelbuilding and the material, with tutorial: www.flickr.com/photos/69214402@N04/6601032339/in/photostr...
--------#2 REAR HUB-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My three favorite rear hubs on a Brompton: BWR (6-speeds), SRAM (6 speeds) and 2-speeds Brompton but this one with industrial quality bearings (SKF by example)
More info about the 2-speeds bearings: www.bromptonforum.net/t3964-remplacement-des-roulements-s...
The 3-speeds Brompton hubs (SRAM or Sturmey Archer) are not interesting, if you consider actual 6-speeds versions. The 5-speeds Sturmey Archer is considered inefficient mechanically by some authors, it is also heavy and don't offer net benefits compared with 6-speeds versions. And the 8-speeds existing hubs (Nexus, Sturmey Archer), for only additionnal 2 speeds, don't respond to my above quality criteria: reasonable weight, small volume, low mechanical friction, perfect wheelbuilding. And even not the 11-speeds Shimano and the 14-speeds Rohloff for the same reasons on a Brompton bike.
My use: I prefer the SRAM hub and a crank between 37 and 42/46 teeth when rambling with a loaded bag on roads with altitude. The SRAM provides for me advantageously a smaller range than the BWR. I like pedaling at a rate between 80 and 90 rpm at any speed. The BWR has a range too large and the gear is either too small or too often. When you pedal with this configuration, the speed is between 6 and 32 km/h. For a rambling on flat roads, I use now only the 2 speed rear hub with a bigger crank, for more pleasure and efficiency than an internal gear hub.
-------#3 FRONT HUB---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The quality of the bearings and flanges are greatly improved with this "Phil Wood front hub special Brompton", here version small flange (Phil Wood ref. # VBE400, model made before 2011, bearing NSK ref. 6901, 150g with bolts). A masterpiece. Saddly, the model currently on sale ( ref. # VBF400, model made since 2011) has an unnecessarily oversized bearing (ref. 6001) and weighs 75 g more, but different beautiful colors are available.
The only other front hub which I consider as a high quality part (it is not a "standard" front hub but a generator hub): SON XS Schmidt Maschinenbau.
Project: customized complex patterns made by a laser etching on a Phil Wood hub.
More info on 'standard' front hubs for Brompton: www.flickr.com/photos/69214402@N04/6601345309/in/photostr...
-------#4 CHAIN-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SRAM 10-speeds 3/32" chain (not the original), it must be remplaced by a Shimano HG 3/32" chain because the sprocket on BWR and on 2 speed-rear wheel are Shimano HG (so to improve the chain jump): www.bromptonforum.net/t4606-le-pedalier-et-son-boitier-am...
-------#5 CRANKSET and BOTTOM BRACKET---------------------------------------------------------------------
A great mod suggested by a Bromptonforum member (Thanks Stéphane): Octalink crankset with a single chainring (here a FC 7700 with the original 53T), but above all Shimano Dura ace BB 7700 Octalink bottom bracket. Refined, classical look, pure quality: a real masterpiece set. You can get it for the same price as the Brompton parts if you rummage a bit.

Some technical informations translated in english: www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php/809974-The-Brompton-cha...
-------#6 SPROCKETS (PROJECT)-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The original must be replaced by Dura Ace or Ultegra quality , keeping the same sizes .
-------#7 CALIPER BRAKES-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A good modification suggested by a bromptonforum member. (Thanks yet Stéphane!): Shimano BR-R600 (Ultegra quality) with a special reverse pulling (machined cable stops, tailor-made), front and rear (the port of the bag is possible). Project: improve the system to obtain an operational quick release! A few "do-it-yourself" but no more expensive than the original Brompton set. Not longer produced (yet available in NOS) but replaced by a new similar long reach model -> quick release possible when the rubber brake pads is a little worn.
More info and tutorial: www.bromptonforum.net/t2639-atelier-cycles-a-ixelles#68335
Stainless steel pieces are specially made for this mounting (made by Stéphane): www.flickr.com/photos/abeillaud_bromptonforum/7178774892/... and www.flickr.com/photos/abeillaud_bromptonforum/7178774594/...
-------#8 SUSPENSION--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kamoya's Jenny suspension (Thanks Ian and good blossom viewing party in Japan):
The Jenny suspension consists of a spring and an elastomer. There are three hardnesses for the elastomer. I use the softest usually but on some occasions one of the two tougher . Perhaps the combined effect of the spring and elastomer limit the pumping effect during the compression phase.
Jenny suspension has replaced the "firm" elastomer Brompton (that was used usually) and the very firm green elastomer Birdy (that was used occasionally in race).
-------#9 SEAT POST-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brompton titanium seat post (not longer on sale since few years even on models X) however the most important titanium part to improve the comfort on a Brompton bike. The rear frame and the fork are made of steel. The additional budget required for titanium X version (~500euros) can be devoted to other modifications, including improved bearings (headset, bottom bracket, front hub), That seems a better investment! And to... some original handcrafted parts for a greater pleasure. :-)
-------#10 POSTKEEPER-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Postkeeper Kamoya on this titanium seat post (not visible here because inside frame). Possible purchase only in Japan but can be relatively easily constructed in a piece of brass, if you are equipped. Instead, you can wrap the seat post with chatterton but no automatic right-left orientation when you unfold in this case, only a top-down fit.
More info and tutorial: www.flickr.com/photos/69214402@N04/6575282821/in/photostr...
-------#11 SEAT POST (PROJECT)------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Project: customized titanium seat post with integrated saddle clamp (which allows the offset) and handcrafted engraving . To get a better quality than the Brompton titanium part (strength and finish).
Since march 2013 : titanium seat post with integrated saddle clamp (without offset) made in Taiwan, no name given by the seller. Looks like the Element 22's seat post shown here : farm8.staticflickr.com/7152/6564639879_3a04aae634_o.jpg
More info : www.bromptonforum.net/t3288p60-tige-de-selle-titane#68959
-------#12 GEAR CABLE ANCHORAGE-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This Sturmey Archer anchorage must be replaced by a SRAM anchorage (this one is easier to fix). A suggestion of Arnaud, mechanician in the attractive shop "La maison du vélo" in Brussels, a great Brompton bike geek!
-------#13 HINGE CLAMPS PLATE-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These "Kamoya Finger Clamps" are very useful due to their asymmetric shape. More, an ingenious home made stop system for the unscrewing makes it even easier folding and unfolding, better than the simple lock nut, it allows to keep the original bolt and it's more effective. Pay attention, it's marked on the screw head: the original bolt is a "8.8" industrial quality ! So do not replace this one by a standard quality.
Read on "Bromptontalk Yahoo Group", the response (copy) of Andrew Finkill, "technical support" at Brompton Ltd (we're lucky, Brompton's customer service is very reactive) to a Brompton user (I don't know if about "Kamoya" or "Brompfication" products, there is nothing written about): "Im afraid we have no plans to use the style of hinge clamp that you refer to, this style of clamp reduces the area of contact between the hinge and the clamp and as such results in a less secure clamp." At least, this response can not be applied to the "Kamoya Finger Clamp", check so the two parts, the Kamoya and the Brompton original! (source: sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/BromptonTalk/message/81018 and also there: www.bromptonauten.de/phorum3/read.php?1,9735,page=2 )
A. Finkilll probably speaks about this type of process published in "A to B" magazine (88, Feb 2012, p.26-27) described as a "Brompton innovation" and proposed by Derek Cranage. We can read: "The lower hinge clamp plates is slightly chamfered"...and a locknut is on the original screw: "(for reason of space this is an ordinary nut with a crushed slit on one side)..." Not the most elegant solution indeed.

More info and tutorial: www.bromptonforum.net/t3184p180-charniere-rapide-japonais....
-------#14 HEADSET-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The third part of this alternative trilogy: Shimano BB 7700 for the bottom bracket, Phil Wood with NSK bearing for the front hub and this "Chris King Gripnut 1-1/8" headset.
-------#15 CABLE HOUSING----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Without "Brompton cable gatherer", of course. So the cable housing in one piece to prevent water infiltration. All cable housings are BBB product, just standard product and it works very well. Here just a "Colson" to maintain together the cable housings.
-------#16 CABLE GUIDE (PROJECT)-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Project: cable guide on frame. Not so easy to tune! I have seen only on picture an attempt on a modified Brompton by Leonard Rubin: www.bromptonforum.net/t2448-len-rubin-s-superbrompton
-------#17 BAR---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The original flat bar (S version) has been replaced. The final bar has not yet been chosen.
-------#18 BRAKE LEVER EXTENSION----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Made by "Paul Component Engineering", called "Chimchim" or "Chimchims" (plural), these extensions for brake levers are a wonderful achievement (I use the version II with the Brompton levers). On the instruction paper, i's written: "Speed's little buddy, developed by pops in a top secret garage somewhere in northern california...". No longer produced (dated 1993-1994 I suppose), Paul wrote to me: ""Wow, that’s an oldie. I have no idea where you are going to find more of those".
More info and pictures: www.bromptonforum.net/t4139-extension-pour-poignee-de-fre...
-------#19 RIM TAPE-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Veloplugs" (Velocity product) replace the traditional rim tape (not visible here because inside rim). A luxury if you look at the price but why bother with a traditional rim tape when we worked so hard to achieve the best wheels for our Brompton bicycles ;)
More info: www.velocityusa.com/default.asp?contentID=555
-------#20 ENAMELLING (PROJECT)----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Belgian flag stickers (for the BWC 2011): www.flickr.com/photos/69214402@N04/6601280995/in/photostr... Project: a customized painting (enamelling): a black frame with the belgian colours. Mat or glossy?
-------#21 CHAIN GUIDE DISC (PROJECT)--------------------------------------------------------------------------
An another part to craft.
-------#22 MUDGUARD BLADE/STAY and MUDGUARD ROLLER (PROJECT)--------------------------
A very lovely project, still secret: Customized mudguards with on rear, a crafted roller support.
-------#23 TIRE---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I use two types of tires (BSD 349).
Usually:
-"Schwalbe Kojak folding" with Schwalbe SV4 inner tube (85 g). The best actual tire for the Brompton, very good on all fronts. Its only flaw: it wears a bit too fast but the benefits largely supplant this disadvantage.
Very occasionaly:
- Even faster and lighter but not good on wet road: "Schwalbe Stelvio Light" folding (no longer produced) with, for the fun, a special and very rare Kenda 19-349 inner tube (65 g) (I guess so not longer produced for several years )
More info about this 19-349 inner tube: www.bromptonforum.net/t1108-chambre-a-air#57738
-------#24 SADDLE (PROJECT)-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Saddle: Brooks Team Professional Cr.
Project: unique concession to a non-personal decorative part: maybe a "Brooks Team Pro Vans special edition" but rebuilt with titanium frame, indeed originally it's a steel frame: blog.brooksengland.com/wps/team-pro-vans-in-online-shop/
But first to get the final customized titanium seat post...
-------#25 PEDALS----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shimano M-520 SPD pedals (here illustrated, used when rambling, excellent value/price ratio). MKS FD-6 folding pedals (used when commuting), I think the best folding pedals (MKS FD-7 now produced, very similar).
Test now for rambling: Crank Brothers Egg Beater 1 (256 g/pair for ~30 euros, ~100 g saved)
More info about these folding pedals: www.bromptonforum.net/t1407p80-pedales-mks-detachables#47461
-------#26 HANDELBAR STEM CLAMP (PROJECT)----------------------------------------------------------------
First frame modification of this project: 2 fixing screws to maintain the bar and not only a single. To improve the binding. Also to install occasionaly a bullhorn handlebar (26.0 mm diameter) without an extension part.
-------#27 FOLDING STABILITY ON THREE ROLLERS (PROJECT)-----------------------------------------
In the folding position called "parking" (only the rear wheel folded), how to improve the stability on a L-model (Brompton without rear rack). There are two differents purposes: stability when you park you Brompton and when you move the Brompton almost completely folded in position "shopping" with the front bag on the bike.
Not so easy to tune an elegant, discret and practical accessory but certainly possible.
Some attempts shown on the internet but nothing yet perfectly achieved. More info: www.bromptonforum.net/t2346-4-roulettes-sur-un-modele-l-c... and here: www.bromptonforum.net/trucs-et-astuces-f2/remplacement-de... and yet: www.bromptonforum.net/t3790-nouveau-systeme-de-roulette, and cs205.xbit.jp/~w037139/11_60.html
-------#28 ROLLING STABILITY WHEN FOLDED (PROJECT)-------------------------------------------------
Test of this Kamoya's part: cs205.xbit.jp/~w037139/15_59.html
Not really convicted by this: farm5.staticflickr.com/4083/5054039548_b1208d436d.jpg
( Picture: 'lottgen' on Flickr, Steve Parry's realisation)
-------#29 HANDELBAR TUBE------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
S-type for rambling, P-type for race (6,5 cm shorter, same angle)
-------#30 CHAIN DERAILLEUR TENSIONER -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Beautiful machined aluminium part made by Bikefun (Korea)

More info : www.bromptonforum.net/t5583-tendeur-de-chaine-aluminium
-------#31 NUTS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stainless steel to prevent rust in winter. "Pay attention to the smallest detail", Andrew Ritchie would not have denied this maxim.

Ảnh hôm mình đi tham gia ký tặng sách của Gào ở Book cafe ♥ ♥ Tội nghiệp bé Như của mình không đi được :(( Mặt mình có vẻ nham nhở :x haha bị mờ là đúng :))))))) Hôm đó thật vui ♥ ♥ ♥
"Sáng hôm qua Chimchim đầu gấu và Heoheo đại ca bắt đầu xuất phát lúc 6h rưỡi sáng và đến tại Book cafe - Nhà sách Phương Nam lúc 7h hơn (vì lí do lạc đường và đi lung tung). Ngộ ra 9h30 mới bắt đầu buổi meeting nên Chimchim và Heoheo lê la về hồ con rùa, gặm vài nhát bánh mì rồi nhâm nhi li cà phê sáng. Ban đầu, vì Sài Gòn ngày cuối tuần còn sớm quá nên chả ai bán gì cho hai đứa ăn. Vậy là thật là vật vã, hai đứa kéo nhau ngồi tại hồ rùa ngáp vài cái cho đã như bọn nghiện ngập. Bao tử hối thúc, hai đứa đi vòng vòng và tìm được một xe bánh mì. Thật là đỡ vã! " - trích Chimchim đầu gấu :))
Quá đã ❌x Mình yêu JUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN và ISAACCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC dữ lắm ♥ ♥ ♥
I was looking at this and thinking that it was familiar and then realised why, I've been there and enjoyed my stay. A fine old house in a beautiful part of the country and well worth the visit! One of the things that will always impress is the number of chimneys. Imagine the amount of fuel required for all of those fires and the amount of work it would have taken to keep them all going???
Just this week the writer of the song Chimney Chim Chim Cheree passed away having left a legacy of memorable earworms!

They want food!
Our pet food, Natural Balance, entered the crazy pet food recall today. We no longer trust the brand and the pet store we bought it from has pulled all Natural Balance products from the shelf. Apparently they are just as pissed as we are at Natural Balance. There was some sort of addition to the food recently that they may not have listed on the ingredients panel yet. The contaminated food "may" contain melamine.
So Clint pulled the cats' food at lunchtime today and he is on his way home with new food. In the meantime, the cats revolt.
Their health better not be affected.
