Hi all,
I just bought a M3 Brompton and discovered it is a fair bit older than the seller thought. He bought it second hand, and was told it was a few years old, but it seems to be a 2002 model. No serial number, so I am estimating based on online photos, and the frame number (170182 BS6102).
The bike is in good condition, other than the annoying automatic rear fold when lifted.
Would love some advice from Brompton experts as to whether it is necessary or even possible to retrofit/upgrade things like brakes, and the automatic rear fold.
Are there any upgrades you would recommend?
The seller has kindly offered either a discount or a return, but I need to make the decision soon. Advice appreciated!
