    This sounds badass, but it looks like it’s not for anyone over 5’10" which kinda sucks. Anyone have a similar brompnot and upgraded it for a taller rider?

      From when I bought my C line several years ago, Bromptons by default came with a taller seat post that would work for people that are 6 feet tall or possibly even taller. I know this because I attempted to install the convenient seat height position saver widget, but discovered that they only work with the shorter seat post, which I wasn’t going to shell out another $50 for. So now I just know my seat height thereabouts via muscle memory.

        I’ve thought about buying a C line 12 speed, but it seems like other companies are coming out with more affordable and far superior versions that have more modern stuff like disc brakes, wider tires, wireless shifting, internal cabling, carbon frames, etc. I had been looking at Takachia but these Javas kinda caught my eye.

        I still might go with a chromoly frame, but the weight savings of carbon sure do sound great on paper.
