HI Hilmi, Brompton is an investment. I owned one when they first come out in late 70's. So well done since you enjoy it. You are a true cyclist eventhough you are using a folding bike. Just continue. You could install a swytch kit but you are masih muda Dan sehat. So tak perlu Dulu. My suggestion is ride with some cycling buddy for safety also. HILMI masih kuliah atau kerja? Cari teman Dan ajak Dia pusing2 dengan sepeda!

[@hilmiiman]

Wow, that's a very long time! Curious to know how your Brompton held up through the years. Thanks for the encouraging words! Saya kerja di sini, nanti saya cuba ajak teman pusing2 haha

The Brooks leather (B-series) is considered by many the "best" (most comfortable) seat for long rides. The only downsides are cost/weight, not being weather-proof, and break-in period. You can get the C-series, but it won't mold / fit to your body like the B-series. Pros include the best fit, durability, and looks. The dark brown and honey both look amazing.

Thanks for the recommendation! Will have a look into it 👍

Hi, I really enjoyed your video on your Brompton bike. Many thanks! I wanted to ask you a few questions. Where did you buy the Demano Verdi backpack? It looks cool! Also, I noticed your "a little rusty" indicator. Your Brompton is pretty new, so why did it get rusty? Do you have any tips for preventing rust on the bike? Some of the bolts look rusty too. Does that bother you at all? Sorry for all the questions, but I'm just curious. Since most Brompton bikes are made of steel, they can rust easily, so I'm super nervous about getting mine wet. At the same time, I want to encourage myself to not worry too much and enjoy riding in the rain. Thanks for your attention!

[@hilmiiman]

Thanks for watching! I bought the Demano bag online from their website (international shipping). Yes the rust does bother me a bit haha. In one of my trips in winter, I made a mistake of leaving my bike outside exposed. It snowed heavily overnight, and the next day I had to push the bike through snowy weather. When I got home, I was shocked to see the rust, didn't know it can develop that quickly haha. Probably because it was covered in snow for hours. I don't think riding in rain would be a problem (I've done that too), make sure you dry the bike after riding, ensure the inside of the frame is also dry. Hope you'll enjoy your bike!

@@hilmiiman I rode one rainy day in Japan and found rust the next day. I now wipe the frame with WD-40 for moisture protection and apply grease to bolts/screws. I also replaced the stock chain with a better quality one.

[@yh3386]

Thank you for your kind reply. Now I feel more confident about biking in the rain. Did you use any rust preventive spray on your bike? I really enjoyed your narrations in the video. Please make more videos about its modifications, travel arrangements, and maintenance.

[@ShiftySkunk]

Did you have to trim the grips for them to fit?

[@hilmiiman]

Nope, it fits as it is

[@JS-reprezent]

Canggeh weh. Malaysia boleh. Bila nak tour Londang?

[@hilmiiman]

Thankss. Londang mana tu haha

[@layhoay]

May I ask what camera did you use to record this video?

[@hilmiiman]

I used the DJI Osmo Pocket 3. Very nice vlogging camera
