I have a small Brompton dealership which only sells Bromptons. I have six in inventory for demos. There are so many options when it comes to Bromptons that even Brompton seem to suggest that we order bikes against an order (it difficult to second guess a customer's wants). I always keep the colored bikes in stock which cost a bit more but give customers an opportunity to review the colors. At the end of the year (which is almost upon us as far as summer bicycles sales go), I discount the demo bike. Brompton discourages dealer discounting but I think it is acceptable for demonstrator bikds. The demo bikes never leave the shop (I found that to be a bad practice a few years) and when they are sold, they are in new condition (actually, they never get out of new condition). I know may sound like a sales call (hmmmm ... maybe it is). Sould you desire to look at another one, let me know I'll let you know what we have stock. We do stock most of the accessories too. Enjoy your Brompton, you'll get many years of good service on it. Oh, I almost forgot why I started to write this. I believe that the good fokes at Dehon and Bike Friday are stretching a point a bit. I have NEVER seen the folding bracket (that they are referring to) beak. It is almost inconceivable to me how it might break. Anyway, I think they are stretching a point. The Brompton is clearly the best fold-up bicycle made! Great Choice. I have a small Brompton dealership which only sells Bromptons. I have six in inventory for demos.
