This would sum up to guessed about roughly GBP 490 in extras. The price difference against the standard bike in real money is GBP555. So either I am missing something or miscalculated the extras or the do charge extra money for a special edition above the worth of the extra bits for the first time with a special edition. Given the reselling prices of Brompton special editions they probably would be kind of stupid not to (and it would in comparison to the reseller offers be a modest extra price tag), though I do absolutely dislike it.
That's only if you bought an original bike and tossed all your brand new parts away and then went out and bought new ones from scratch.
I THINK we're saying the same thing. I don't believe it's worth paying extra for a limited edition if it doesn't offer anything more. If it does, then fine. But if you get charged more than those things are worth over and above a standard part, then it is a rip off. IMHO.
I'm not talking specifically about this bike, I've not looked at the figures in the way that you have, I'm talking in generic terms (and about all products, not just Bromptons).
