There’s so much to argue on this, too many third party adapters.

My plan is to transform the Brompton into a do it all sort of bike. I want to continue using it as my daily commuter, I want to carry camping gear on it and I want it ready to climb any mountain.
The biggest change I’m doing to the bike is fit it with the Rohloff hub then install new drivetrain, replace the rear triangle hinge, bottom bracket and headset, swap the brakes for real road brakes and replace as much steel as possible with titanium. The saddle remains the same, the pedals, crankset, front wheel and fork, main frame, stem and the handlebar will stay as well.

I’m hoping to end up with a rust free, touring and climbing ready, average looking Brompton.

Please note, this is not a how to guide, I’m not a professional Brompton mechanic or any other type of mechanic, I share my process purely to entertain the content consumer and to remind myself how it went.

Please note again, I have no affiliation with any of the brands you'll see or read about, I couldn't care less if they sell their stuff or not, you will never find a link to anything and I don’t recommend any of the parts or tools I've used myself.
