Guten Morgen
I finally picked up a Brompton (to match my English 1975 car and 1969 motorbike, otherwise I might have bought "Made in Germany" 😬) after contemplating for months, even years!
I always loved the "bare" or "austere" versions, and this is the cheapest I've seen in months, not too far away too!
I wouldn't have chosen this colour, tbh, but turns out it is a 1998 UNSPOILED specimen. I did an oily rag restauration and adjusted the cables, and it rides amazingly, considering its (VERY) simple setup.
I am pretty aware of the lesser functional items, but I love it the way it is and I will use it accordingly, especially on car meets or flea markets, or for short bursts into the city.
Glad to be here – keep it (un?) folded! 🤔
FROHE OSTERN ❗🐇🌼
