Somehow I guess we are an exception to this as we've constantly got stock of them coming in and and selling.
Also accepting cycleschemes and it not making us lose money.
Have seen some questionable bikes come in from Brompton - currently sitting on a P Line with a bent triangle and gonna have to wait months for it to be sorted, also had to redo quite a few seat sleeves on new bikes.
Also get a fair few people bringing their bikes to us after getting then straight from Brompton to have safety checks done.
Standards at the factory seem to be all over the shop.

Sjs only did well on Bromptons because we had 120 in stock prior; Brompton have completely fucked shops and customers by selling direct, factory build is poor, shops loose out, people buying the wrong bike because lack of test ride etc.
We went months with no bikes in stock at all.
