Kinetics – the blog…

I don’t normally stock Bromptons – too many permutations to keep them all However I do have one spare in stock, due to a small error on my part, so if you want a Brompton without waiting 6 weeks, you can have this one now. The specification is:

• M3R – upright bars, 3-speed gears, rear carrier
• Yellow mainframe, black extremities
• Kevlar tryres
• Battery lighting set
• Price: £650

Just call me at the shop if you’re interested – 0141 942 2552…

Scorpion BionX 2, originally uploaded by Ben Cooper.

This is the very neat way that the BionX system fits to a Scorpion trike – the Li-Ion battery unclips in seconds if you need it to, or it can stay on while the Scorpion fx folds.

Heinzmann batteries, originally uploaded by Ben Cooper.

This is the new Li-Ion 9.6Ah Heinzmann battery (on the right) with an older silver box NiMH for comparison. The Li-Ion is about 2kgs lighter, smaller, and is inside this excellent mini pannier – there’s also space in there for the charger…

This is a quick picture of an S&S-equipped Pino I’ve just finished and delivered – the huge couplings are extremely rigid in this frame

I suddenly realised that the reason I have no space for bike books is that I’ve got loads of computer books I don’t need any more

I’ve listed them all on Amazon…
