Bromptons and folding bikes

[Jonny69]

I've been wanting a Brompton for a while so I can break up my commute and do the last part of the journey by bike. Last time I looked they were about £350 but I had a shock when I saw them going for £600 on eBay and over £800 new :shocked:

What happened there? Am I looking in the wrong place?

So I'm still on the lookout for a folding bike. I can't really leave it at the station overnight because this is London and I don't want to come back to find things missing or the whole bike gone, so I'd prefer a folder that I can carry with me. I like how small the Brompton folds and how quickly it does it.

What are my other options for folding bikes? That A frame Sinclair bike thing is no good :D

Couple of guys in work have folding bikes to get to - fro train station, I'll ask around for you tomorrow. :)

I popped into an Evans today (not the shop for fat chicks) and they have a plain black one for £595, pretty much the model I'd be looking at. Still a bit steep but I got to have a play around with it. They are definitely the best of the folding bikes. The Dahons they had folded nowhere near as small and were heavier.

I've got a Dahon bag somewhere, probably at the bottom of the junk mountain. It's roughly 3'x3'x1'. Let me know if it would be of any use to you and I'll have a look for it.

I've never tried a folding bike, how well do they stick together?
