A tentative Brompton inquiry gathered the news that waiting time for a custom Brommie is currently 13 weeks.
Longer than usual, a bike ordered today might not arrive before Christmas.
My Brommie dealer, who professes no inside knowledge, wonders if the delay is caused by Brexit.
I hate to mention the B word on this section of the forum, but I suppose it's possible foreign dealers are ordering extra bikes, fearful that supply might be interrupted after October 31.
My dealer reckons it's an example of Brompton looking after the export market when they should be supporting UK dealers.
Brompton has always been a law unto itself, and dealers do find them frustrating to deal with.
Is it likely Brexit is responsible for longer waiting time for UK customers?
