Bargain Brompton M3R. 2018.

This is a 2018 Brompton M3R, a British-made steel folding bike finished in Lime Green. The bike has barely been ridden—just a handful of times—and is in nearly new condition apart from a couple of very light marks on the top tube. It's the kind of find that doesn't come around often in the secondhand market, especially at this price point.

The M3R uses Brompton's signature compact fold, which means it collapses down small enough to fit under a desk, into a train luggage rack, or the boot of a car. The steel frame is durable and absorbs vibration well on rougher surfaces, and at 16 inches, the wheels make the bike nimble and agile in urban traffic. The 3-speed hub gears handle everyday riding without fuss, and the integrated LED lights and luggage rack mean it's ready to use as-is for commuting or casual riding around town. There's no need to add accessories or spend time on maintenance.

This Brompton works well for anyone who cycles as part of a mixed commute, using buses or trains alongside pedalling. It's equally suited to flat city riding where you need something portable and reliable. The fold becomes second nature after a few rides, and the upright geometry gives decent visibility in traffic. At this age and condition, it's worth serious consideration if you're looking for a proven folding bike without paying full retail.
