Hello everyone, I live in a country where I cannot buy a Brompton from any store, thought the prices are too high for me, neither I cannot test any nearby.
I was wondering should I buy a used Brompton C-line M3L (2017 model after upgrades) but for the price around 1164$/986€ or maybe should I consider a cheaper one Brompton B75 (2021 model) but with built in mudguards and folding pedals. Is the quality enough comparing those two? I already know that the B75 has an older shifters, higher seatpost, and older brake levers. I also noticed there is no built in (holder) in frame for luggages, suitcases etc.
For the price, should it be enough to choose B75 or should I look for any other C Line, even older ones?
Also I've heard that the B75 has less gears crank (like 44 comparing to something like 50 in C line?) is it going to be much of a difference drivering around town with small hills? Something it would be nice to ride as fast as the bicycle let's me.
Thanks for the any advice.
