FS: Brompton M6L

Hi there, selling my Brompton M6L as I simply don't use it enough to justify it. I'm the second owner - bought from a neighbour about a year ago thinking I could use to commute and other things, but work changed and I end up using my motorbike every day. My wife tried to use it but she found too heavy and a faff to carry around tube/train stations.

It has a telescopic seatpost and upgraded Shimano brake levers.

It rides brilliantly and it's in very good condition.

Price: moved elsewhere

Collection only from NW10, or I might meet somewhere more central if needed.

Sorry, a couple of things to add:

• Saddle not included - I need this to something else. I can add a generic Bontrager one I have lying around.
  
• As you can see in the pictures, it also has one of these bridge extenders in the handlebar.
  
  
  

Bargain!

This looks perfect for me, could you bring it central London tomorrow at all for me to test please?

It’s over 15 years old, so maybe not so much!

It's cleaner than mine and looks newer! :)

Totally agree, bargain. Clean example should fetch more.

Bump!

It’s pre 2004, seen 2014+ m3l bikes in good nick go for 600-700

I understand that. Maybe not a total bargain but it still seems like a good price to me given its current state.

Hi everyone, I tried to price it fairly based on a quick review of the offers I could see in few places. It seems not everyone agrees so a small price reduction to £525 and I'm adding a Brompton front bag that I forgot I have.

what's the name of the cat?
The one living at my place looks quite similar

That's Juscelino, he's not for sale :)

I would never pay for any being don't worry
!

Ok, another week and final price bump before I move somewhere else.

Edit : moved elsewhere.

It will fetch that or more on eBay, as an SWB it’s much less desirable as they were known to snap at the main frame clamp - that’s why they moved to a lugged join rather than TIG. People on eBay don’t know their TIG from their papier maché so yeah, I would go eBay.

Agreed, is it “worth” more, maybe not, but if you list it well with good photos you will likely get more.

@luccas I hate to be that guy but its forum rules not to cross post on other sites like facebook.

Yes buddy, I'm aware of that. I said I would move elsewhere with my last price bump. Following by a couple of comments that made it clear it won't sell here. So I just did move. I was about to edit here before your comment. Done.

If it's for sale elsewhere, delete this thread.

stating it's 'moved elsewhere' is not within the spirit or the letter of the rules, although I admit the forum's controls don't make it easy to do either. You might have to ask a mod to delete the thread for example.

I'm happy to delete, but as you said I can't do that myself it seems. So I just did what I see most people doing when they move their sales somewhere else - it seems quite common to me here. I'm definitely not here to defy the rule or trying to take advantage.

Anyway, if the mods could please close this thread I would appreciate. Thank you.
