We've decided to invest in a Brompton. We've had a Decathlon Hoptown 5 for just over a year and found it to be a very useful and versatile bike and think having two would be a good plan, for taking on weekends away etc.

I've decided on a Brompton, preferably an M6R or H6R. I've been on the lookout on Ebay but they don't seem to go for bargain prices!
I was wondering if anyone had any top tips for Brompton buying? Things to look out for when Brompton buying? Any sites known for good quality, well priced Brommies?

If I don't pick one up before the next Ride to work scheme then I'll probably buy new on the scheme - but not sure how it will work as an M6R seems to come in at just over £1000 - the limit for the scheme.

Oh thank you, but I have a Brompton now though it's currently in the bike shop awaiting repairs after my recent hit and run!

Hi,

Is this still for sale? Are the 5 gears in the hub? Do you have any more pictures? How 'vintage' is vintage? I'm in Edinburgh - could collect. Thanks, Duncan

I think that confirms the remarkable extent to which they hold their value.

My 5 speed cost me £650 about 15 years ago.

Compare that to a car that loses a substantial percentage as soon as it drives a yard off the showroom floor.
