While I was taking care of some other business up in Scottsdale I took the opportunity to swing by
Portapedal Bike in Tempe to chat and pick up some of the accessories that I had ordered and to see if anything was new. I also wanted to check out the Jubilee edition while they still had it.

Jubilee Edition Brompton at Portapedal |
The Jubilee Edition is limited to 500 units and included a limited edition S bag with the Union Jack on the flop, This model is basically a tri-colored M3L (white main frame, red handlebar stem and fork, cobalt blue rear frame) with a Union Jack design under the Brompton logo. Very cool looking!
Also new was a Brompton polo shirt. Looked sharp, had to have, and did!
I was also given this trouser cuff (basically a big slap bracelet) for being a good sport for waiting so long for the bike.
Here's all the other stuff I had ordered and picked up:
|
Spare tubes - Essential since this size may be difficult to find. |
|
Brooks Proofide (12g) - Helps break in the Brooks leather saddle. |
|
Cover & Saddle bag - It'll be handy when I have to kinda conceal the bike, plus I can stash a spare tube and levers in there. |
|
C-bag - To carry all my stuff while commuting. I brought my worst-case commuting cargo load and tried stuffing the C-bag at Portapedal. It was a tight fit, but everything fit. I'll do some posts outlining what kinds of loads I'm able to carry in this. |
|
Waterproof zippers on the C-bag... a very nice touch! |
Really love the Brompton polo.
