Brompton 5 speed 1997

Overall a good representation for Brompton from the 90's era, fully functional with some comfort modifications including ergo grips and vintage brooks saddle. Mechanically it is fully serviceable and in great mechanical condition.

Superficial condition remarks. This has been diy sprayed back to the original black (several years ago) with some primer slightly marbled and showing underneath, original plan was to change the color but this was decided against.

This has had some use over its lifespan, but still plenty of life left.
