• I'm selling the Brompton that I bought for my girlfriend, as it seems that when she said "I like your Brompton, it would be fun if I had one" what she actually meant was "I'm going to use your Brompton whenever I want".

    It's an all black 2012 M3L which has had the grips upgraded with some of the short ODI Rogue lockons and the original saddle has been replaced with a Charge Bucket (the Rolls style one). The seatpost is the "standard" one, and it doesn't include a pump (which I think the "L"s normally come with).

    Generally it's aesthetically fair, with the main points of note being that the large Brompton decal has been removed, as has the plastic protector on the chainring and there is a small crack in one of the mudguards.

    As for the mechanical condition, I had the rear hinge fixed when I bought it, so that's as-new and I looked over it before giving it to my girlfriend (new brake pads, etc). The wheels could do with straightening a touch, as I don't have the means to do 16" wheels, but I haven't found the small amount of wobble to adversely affect the ride or braking. Overall I'd rate the condition as fair to good, and it's definitely road worthy.

    As well as the bike itself I'm including a front block basket/frame (RRP £50) and a Vincita B132B soft travel bag (RRP £120). I can also include some brightly coloured stickers like these if you're worried about visibility when you're out on the road.

    Ebay prices look like to be about £625 (+/- £25) for the bike, £25 for the basket/frame and £60 for the bag. If I can sell this to a Londoner (and avoid any postage hassle, etc) I'm happy to pass on most of what I'll save on fees and do the lot for £625 ono- which means you'd effectively be getting the bags for free. I'm based in Euston (work) and Putney (sleep) for test ride purposes, and I can deliver to zones 1 & 2 by arrangement.

    Any queries, give me a shout here or via PM.

    There are also a couple of bits (Chrome tool roll, Zipp CX bar tape) from this still kicking around if anyone is interested.

  • It's a sunny day, I'd really prefer not to spend the weekend listing this on Ebay, so price drop to £600.

    That's a steal for a Brompton with a travel bag and basket.

  • Someone has asked if I'll split the bags/block, in which case I can do the bike on its own for £540.

    That's an upgraded, recently looked over 2012 M3L for £540. Which seems like a pretty decent price.

  • @Doctor_Cake tempted?

  • Oh yes, I am interested. I've never tried the M bar, won't be back in London until later this week though.
