Brompton conversion
« on: 16 May, 2010, 08:44:25 pm »
Has anyone got a Juliana Neuss brompton recumbent conversion kit? I understand she no longer makes them so I'd like to get a good look at one to see if I could make one myself. It would be interesting to see if it could be adapted for other folding bikes.

A friend of mine had one and may still have it, unused.  It was designed for the 'short wheelbase' Brommie.  There are some tight tolerances to minimise the folded size.

There used to be a Birdy clone recumbent conversion on some asian websites a few years ago

That must be the ultimate example of the 'answer to the question that nobody asked'!

Well that's the more blunt way of putting it but as usual he's dead right.

Hi LIttlewheelsandbig
If your friend still has it and would be interested in selling I would be very interested in buying it.
