Word reaches me of yet another special edition Brommie.
But this one has something worth having - a lower price.
The Brompton 75 will be a limited edition of 75 bikes priced at £750.
I'm not clear on specs, but I think the headline price will be for a naked bike - no rack or mudguards.
The other downside is the 75 has the previous generation brake levers, and possibly some other previous model year components.
The brakes are a bit of a downer, the curved lever ones never worked very well.
A cynic would suggest Brompton has been raking around its parts inventory, and the 75 is an attempt to clear the factory of bits they will never sell.
On t'other hand, a new Brommie can easily be £1,200, so £750 is attractive for what is essentially the same bicycle.
