Hello all,
I'm looking for some advice on what to consider when buying a second hand Brompton. I normally ride a hybrid but have wanted a B 'just in case' for a while. I'm not at all techy, but obviously don't want to buy the cat in the bag, so what's important: miles ridden? Age? Which parts normally need checking? Any particular models that have got flaws/advantages? What should I expect to pay depending on all of these factors?
And of course, if anyone's got one to sell, do let me know! Am currently looking here and on Going Going Bike (where you buy before seeing the bike - so not a good option? Anyone got experience with this?)
Thanks!!
