a very special 2009 12 speed Brompton.
2009 M type bars on P type stem - gives a little further stretch and doesn't affect the fold (Stem 2010, Bars and brace 2012)
Special suspension system imported from Japan with Firm elastomer
Schlumpf 'Speed Drive' front gearbox - gives 33t and 54t equivalents at the kick of a button on the crank (2010) (Cost £600 alone)
BWR with 13t/16t
Rack (2012)
Easy Wheels (2012)
Shimano Dynohub (2010)
Edelux front light with auto sensor(2010)
B&M Topflight rear light with standby (2010)
Brompton green tyres (new last month)
Ergo c/w bar ends, uncut due to new levers (2010)
New brake levers with variable pull and lever position (2012)
BWR has had a full set new bearing and 'R' springs (2012)
Self centering / no spinning frame clamps from Japan (2010)
Extended seat post Aluminium (2011)
Pentaclip
Saddle, just some cheap thing, I switched my Brooks to the fixed, will have Brompton specific when it's delivered
Gear and brake cables replaced 2012
Comes with luggage block and C-type front bag and waterproof cover new in 2012.
It runs a sweet as a nut, looks a bit scruffy but most Bromptons do after a while of commuting. Will be washed and serviced before delivery.
Gearing ranges from 21 to 108 inches, it will climb up the side of a mountain very easily. I've ridden 3 x 200km Audaxes with no comfort issues.
Want £800 +postage.
Based near Manchester / Bury / Rossendale
