Brompton B75
« on: September 28, 2024, 02:37:48 PM »
Apologies for advertising a non Thorn bike  ;)
Brompton B75, this was the base model, 3 spd SA, very similar to what is now called the A-line.  It’s rumoured they built these to use up obsolete parts they had laying around, but bikes at this price proved so popular they re-ordered the same parts. 
Anyway, purchased March 2021 and ridden less than 50 miles, travelled a few hundred on the train. TBH, I like the idea of it far more than I like riding it, so I usually find a reason to take another bike, even when this might be the most practical.  I’m pretty sure it’s never been used in the rain.  I’ve just wiped the dust off and can’t see a single mark, you’d be really hard pressed to distinguish it from one straight out of the showroom.  I have the owner’s manual and an email receipt.  I may have the original cardboard box, I’m not sure (It isn’t here but I might know where it is!)
Details of the model here:

Offered as it originally came for £775, no offers for now thanks.


Also available with the accessories and upgrades I’ve added, pick and mix any of these you like.  (These are not for sale separately till the bike is sold) Prices below are 75% of new price (In brackets), if you can find them at a better new price I’ll adjust accordingly:
Mudguard and rack £95 (£126)
Telescopic seatpost £55 (£75)
MKS folding pedals £35 (£55)
Front luggage block £14 (£19)
2X Spare tubes £9 (£12)
Brompton front bag that I bought secondhand, nice condition, but not like new £35

Collection from Derby would be preferable, delivery to a train station might be an option (Any mainline station between Derby and Essex, via London, Cambridge or Peterborough. for free. Others stations still a possibility), or I can post as a last resort. Let me know where and we’ll see if we can work something out.  You’re welcome to have a look and a test ride in Derby.

I'll take some photos when I get round to it, for now this is the only one I have, packed in its cupboard!
