Missus was contemplating selling Dr Seuss, her B, to get a Titanium model. After a few days of putting it up for sale, she had a change of heart because Dr Seuss held too many memories for her.
So she decided on giving Dr Seuss a facelift instead. The main change is to the stem and handlebar, from a P to a H. After testing riding a H-bar Brompton, she fell in love with the upright riding position.
At the local distributor, a fellow Brompton owner had brought her dog along. It is one extremely well-trained pomeranian.
After 5 days at the local distributor, Dr Seuss was back with a string of upgrades. The upgrades are:
1) P-bar to H-bar
2) P-bar stem to H-bar stem
3) 2013 brake levers
4) New brake pads
When Dr Seuss was back home, I replaced the rear reflector with a Cateye Reflex Rear Light. This will greatly enhance the rear visibility of Dr Seuss.
My make-shift work bench. Here, I am replacing the rear reflector on Citrus with the Cateye Reflex Rear Light, after changing Dr Seuss’.
When we go for our night rides, I will take some shots on how the rear of the Brompton has been greatly enhanced using a combination of the Cateye Reflex Rear Light and the main rear lights we have om our Bromptons.

Adventures on Brompton 
Your Missus opted for the “H” bar. How do you like your “P” bars compared to the H? I’m tall (6′) and just purchased a used Brompton with “P” bars and I like them but I never had a chance to test ride the H bars to make a comparison. The only drawback in my case is that it seems that I am reaching too far forward to reach the bars so I ordered a saddle post extender to bring me closer to the handlebars. I have thought about using an H stem in conjunction with the P bars but I wonder if it would affect the fold and the bars might hit the ground.
Hi Noel. Sorry for the late reply.
I prefer the P to the H as I like to lunge forward when I ride. The H gives me a very upright riding position, something which makes me uncomfortable, especially over long distances. The P is a good in between for the S and H. I am 5″8 by the way.
As for the reach, the P is just nice for me. Good call on you to get the saddle post extender to bring you closer to the handlebars.
As for your thoughts on getting a H stem with a P bar, I reckon it will be very much higher than a H stem with a H bar. In addition to a more upright position, your arms might also be elevated a bit more. Might be tiring on the arms. The fold might also be affected. I have seen H stem with S bar and it is a perfect combo, especially for tweens.
