Yeah, but his luggage block is already fitted. No point asking him.

Can someone who owns a Brompton without a luggage block fitted tell me
if the two holes for mounting the block have the Allen bolts in or are
they vacant? I.e. do the Allen bolts belong to the luggage block or the
bike?

Colin

holes are filled with plastic screws, the luggage block comes with all
hardware

Especially since both bike and luggage block are currently 25 miles
away...

Cheers. That's just what I needed.

Bromptons live in dining rooms, not in sheds! 🙂

I bought a Brompton luggage block to put on each of my other bikes. They
came with bolts so I would guess that a blockless B doesn't have bolts
already fitted.

Or in the case of the one I perpetually borrow, down in the cubby next
to the piano.

This does reinforce the point that one of the Great Things about the
Brom (and many other folders, but especially the Brom given the folded
size and ease of getting that way and back) is there isn't any need for
dedicated storage space and/or access to same for an unwieldy object to
anything like the same extent as a "normal" bike.

Mine lives in the dining/gaming/tent drying room because it's on the way
to the front door and it isn't really in the way there, so it makes the
job of getting a bike ready to go just as easy as picking up the car
keys and wandering out to the lane where we park. That's a significant
factor in convenience.
