    Couple of years old, so has a few scratches as it's been in and out of the car to go to the velodrome quite a few times. 90%indoor use and never crashed. BB in photos will be removed before sale. Can be built into a complete bike with entry level parts or sold as is for £350 + postage will be happy to consider offers. Collection available from Bristol area.

    Is there not an Evans in Norwich? I know they're best avoided but should actually have the reamers and tools!

    I would agree you can remove and fit the pin quite easily at home as already described, the main problem will be reaming to remove the play/corrosion. you'll find it hard to get 6.1 and 6.35 hand reamers (don't use machine reamers) to do this part anywhere near the cost a Brompton dealer will do it for. The only time you won't need to ream is if its barely used but got a bit stiff - remove, clean and replace with the same size or if you don't care about your hinge working loose and falling apart!
