Brompton M3L 16" Folding Bike

This is a Brompton M3L 16-inch folding bike with a steel frame and 3-speed hub gearing, a collectable multicoloured model that's now some years old. The bike has seen use and carries the marks of age—there are paint defects across the frame and the brake levers have been swapped for newer ones. It rides reasonably well despite its history, though the gears will need a bit of tuning to work smoothly. The Brompton fold itself remains compact and functional, which is the core appeal of these bikes for commuters and anyone juggling cycling with public transport.

Built around a steel frame with centre-pull caliper brakes and hub gears, this is a straightforward, low-maintenance setup typical of Brompton's design philosophy. The 16-inch wheels and lateral fold keep everything tight and portable, making it practical for trains, buses, and small storage spaces. The bike's age means it's not pristine—cosmetically it shows its years—but mechanically it's still usable and will respond well to a service once the gears are adjusted properly. Being on the bike register, ownership will transfer cleanly once sold.

The reason for sale is straightforward: it's a case of too many bikes and not enough riding time. Because it needs some attention to be fully sorted, it's priced accordingly. Collection only, no posting. For anyone after a genuine older Brompton that still has plenty of life in it, this is worth considering if you're prepared to do a bit of light maintenance work yourself.
