BCP Leather Accessories

My friend Eugene and his buddy Roel sold me this leather accessory set for my Brompton. The pack includes matching mudflaps for the front and rear fenders, frame cover and keychain. For all 4 pieces, I paid just PhP 1,050.00 (US$25.00). They come in a wide variety of colors (brown, dark brown, red, among others), but I chose the standard black to match my black Brooks B-17 saddle.
Of the 4, I've only attach the frame cover. My stock mudflaps are still fine, so these new ones I'll store as replacements. It wasn't hard to install the cover. I used the metal tweezer of my swiss army knife to insert the leather string through the holes. I was done in 10 minutes.

The black leather frame cover looks nice. When the Brompton is folded, it protects the frame from possible scratches when it comes in contact with the rear tire. It's also easier to carry the bike with the cover because the latter provides a better grip of the frame.
I'm satisfied with my purchase. Will definitely use the mudflaps when the stock ones tear or otherwise get destroyed.

  5. Hi Kris,

    Thanks for writing your blog and I was really impressed with your new leather accessories. I have followed your comment and found your friend Eugene's facebook page, but there isn't a way to message him there. Do you know if it is because he would prefer not to sell to people he doesnt know/from outside of Philippines?

    Thanks!

  7. Hi Kris,

    It's great to see what' s happening in Manila concerning Brompton.

    I'm impressed by the frame cover. I wonder if you can ask Eugene if he would sell to me. I'm based in Belgium (Europe).

    Thanks!
