#ThrowbackThursday to Halloween 1973 as a seven-year-old Batman! Sorry Michael Keaton, but I was doing "I'm Batman" a good 15 years before you. 🤣🎃

#BenCooper aka #Kinetics posted a comparison table between his 20" #MTBrompton conversion and the new ex-works 20" #Brompton #G_Line: https://www.kinetics-online.co.uk/technical-info/g-line-vs-mtbrompton/

@insl: It's now on his website at https://www.kinetics-online.co.uk/custom-builds/recumbent-brompton/ and official: #BenCooper aka #Kinetics plans to offer a #Brompton FWD #recumbent kit in the future!

Citing from there:

"This, with some more development, will be a kit that you can add to your own Brompton – there’s no modification needed to the mainframe, it just replaces the front fork. Watch this space…"

There's even a video of unfolding it!

This solves at least the "problem" what to do with my current Brompton if I buy a G-Line. 😉

@insl: Wow, didn't know there's a second type of #Brompton based recumbents besides the '90s Brompton #recumbent kit by #JulianeNeuss. And even one a) still available (i.e. for current generations instead of Mk2 or earlier) and b) with simpler front wheel drive. Couldn't find it in the long list at https://www.kinetics-online.co.uk/category/custom-builds/, though.

And if you use a #SeatPostHugger, you could even still use Brompton front bags (mounted in the back to the seat post).

Now I want two #BenCooper Bromptons. 🤪

You can smell the mask, hear the costume crinkling and you just cut your tongue sticking it through the mouth hole. Happy Halloween from all of us at Welcome to the Boomtown! #80s #80shalloween #BenCooper

31 Days of 80s Halloween continues. You couldn’t breathe in them, couldn’t see through the eyes and the rubber band always snapped your ear. We all knew someone with a Ben Cooper costume, maybe you had one too. #80s #BenCooper #31DaysofHalloween
