Electric. I really like the normal Bromptons but the electric makes up for a lot of the compromises that they have to have in order to fold.
I'm sure it's not in the spirit of the challenge though. I suppose you should look at a 6 speed and decide whether you want to bend your back more or less.

Let’s build you a 20x2.0-2.2” tyred, disc brake, Rohloff Brompton… ?! That would be a dream to cruise to Paris on!

The single speed Brompton I need to sell is the obvious choice

This is actually really fun.
A couple of mates of mine signed me up for this and we did it in 24 hours in total.
The hardest part of the leg was the UK due to the hilly nature. But I did it on a 2 speed without any issues.
1 speed would definitely be a new level. But once you get over to France the rest if flat and simple to get into Paris.

Being strongarmed into a work charity London - Paris ride with a load of newbie cyclists. For a laugh they thought it would be funny to sign me up, but only on the basis that I ride on a Brompton.
I don't have a Brompton, but have been considering buying one for a while now. Am slightly bewildered by the choice, but any recommendations for one that I won't absolutely hate after riding c.80 miles/day for 3 days?
