To Brompton or not to Brompton?

[Banjo]

There are counterfeit brommies about if you buy the used one check serial numbers etc. No genuine seller will have a problem with that.

Im sure the M bars will be fine at your height. I am 5ft 9 and M works for me. I test rode both versions before buying.

I have an S-type and have also owned a couple of M-types. I much prefer the S-type as the position is just right for me, with a bit of drop from the saddle to the bars. The M-type is a bit like riding a Raleigh Chopper; you can waft around feeling like the King of the Road and it's fun for a while, but it's not a great position for longer or faster rides.

It does, not least because it includes a Brommie bag which would cost £100+ to buy separately.

However, Brommies are now in Halfords/Cycle Surgery.

I was offered £100 off in Cycle Surgery at the MetroCentre without asking for prices.

Once the discounters get hold of a brand, the used values plummet.

Surprised at that pale rider - I didn't think Brommies were ever really discounted - but good news for anyone who wants one.

I can vouch for the quality of the bikes - and build quality is way better than Dahon (I also have a Dahon sport bike) - My brommie (5 speed model) has also been up mountains:
