New Bumble Bee from Brompton

 They say imitation is the highest form of flattery. 

Brompton has recently released a “Bumble Bee” Brompton C line (not sure I’ll get used to the new model codes). Brompton stopped the yellow paint a few years ago but now as been released again for the new line. Haven’t seen one in person to see if it’s the exact shade of yellow the legend is.   

From what I have seen the basic colour coordination is what I have been working on for many years with custom parts for the legend and perfected years ago. Black seat post, crank, wheel rims, spokes & brake callipers.

Looking forward to seeing one in the flesh and will give further thoughts afterwards. 

Remember folks, there is only one true legend…….

Support your local bike shops

After the snow and rain of the last few months it was time for the legend to get a service. I have known Przemek for many years and has always been the legends fav surgeon  mechanic.

He has personally over seen pretty much ALL of the Legends major upgrades over the years and an all round top bloke. Always good banter whenever i visit.

All the years i have known him he has always expressed that he wanted his own bike shop, so finally he did it and Broda Cycle was born.

So the legend is all serviced and riding smooth as silk. Hopefully will get some rides in this year and see some of you folks too.

Great start to 2022…..

So this has been an interesting transition from 2021 to 2022

So New Year’s Eve I started to feel a bad headache coming on while I was at work. This isn’t anything new but with the currently climate with COVID you can’t be too careful. 

So got home from work and took a home kit which came up a huge positive. Came up almost immediately. 

I actually took 2 tests to be sure. Managed to find  a testing centre just down the road from me where I could get the proper test to make sure. Just over 24hrs later I got a txt message saying I had COVID-19. 

So my symptoms was a headache for about 2 days straight & high temperature. I’ve been double jabbed so probably had an effect on how good or bad I would have it. So I'm still off sick from work and quarantined. Currently the government guidelines is that I test on day 6 & 7 and if both are negative I can go back to work but if positive stay quarantined for the full 10 Days.

I'm feeling pretty good other than the 2 days of headache I had on the first couple of days.

My boss  called me on Day 3 checking up on me and also asking if there was anyway I could have passed it on when in work, but it was pretty quiet after Boxing Day and New Years Eve as I had tested just before Christmas Eve and was all clear.

With this extra time I should really give the legend a good clean and service as he kinda deserves it/

Well I'm going to say this and if you feel alittle off jabed on not take a test as soon as possile to help stop the spread of this nasty little bugger.
