Rohloff Disc Brompton 4, originally uploaded by Ben Cooper.
Not the easiest Brompton conversion I’ve done 😉
Rohloff Speedhub in the back, SON Delux hub dynamo in the front, Hope X2 hydraulic disc brakes all round, and an Edelux front light.
It needed a new rear triangle, new forks, and quite a bit of custom machining…

Another S&S bike, this time a lovely Raleigh touring frame…
Two frames, originally uploaded by Ben Cooper.
Two almost identical frames in for repair – identical, that is, apart from the name. Hmm 😉
Two S&S Thorn Frames, originally uploaded by Ben Cooper.
Paint just touched up with spray paint – beautifully made old frames, though the tapering tubes made it important to get the couplings in the right place…
Heavily Loaded Brompton, originally uploaded by Ben Cooper.
This bike belongs to a friend who teaches circus skills. He still has the Brompton, but it’s had a new frame and new wheels since this was taken 😉
Loading Big Trailer, originally uploaded by Ben Cooper.
I found an old mobile phone, which had a bunch of pictures on the memory card – including this remarkable trailer that was travelling around the UK…

Another helicopter I’ve been building – this one has a camera mount and GPS for aerial photography…
Sinclair C5 Disc Brake, originally uploaded by Ben Cooper.
A job from a few days ago – fitting a disc brake to a Sinclair C5. It’s a very small wheel, not a very big disc 😉
