Very cool, through the mountains even. What gave you the idea to use a Brompton?

I have toured in Asia on a regular bike before but they can be a pain to transport so thought I would give the Brompton a go, I thought if I found it too much like hard work I could get on a bus with it.
Here is the bike that inspired the 20" wheel conversion, in fact these are the forks and wheels that are on it, a non-folding Raleigh Twenty.

Are they drum brakes? 3 speed?

Yes the donor bike is actually a Raleigh Sigma which is the drum brake version of the Twenty, it is quite low geared but I can still trundle along at 10 mph and climb some hills on it. I am something of a fan of hub gears and drum brakes having four bikes with them.

We do indeed. Putting it in a Brompton and touring with it deserves a lot of credit though, well done. Hope we will eventually see some pics.We all love hub gears and drums here
