Brompton M6R (conversion from M6L) Raw Lacquer finish, low mileage, v good cond

This is a Brompton M6R folding bike, a British-made steel frame built for urban commuting and the kind of cycling where you need to fold the bike up and carry it with you. The M6R designation means it's the conversion model from the M6L – essentially a full-spec Brompton with 6 speeds rather than the more basic 3-speed option. The 16-inch wheels are standard across the Brompton range, and they keep the folded package compact enough to fit under a desk or take on a train without much fuss.

The frame is steel, which means it's sturdy and relatively forgiving if you don't baby it, though it does add a bit of weight compared to lighter materials. The raw lacquer finish gives it a clean, minimal look – just the bare steel with a clear protective coat, so you see the material honestly without any paint colour. The bike runs caliper brakes with side-pull operation and a hub gear system for the 6 speeds, which is the Brompton approach to keeping things reliable and low-maintenance. There are mudguards fitted as standard, reflectors for visibility, and a step-through frame design that makes it easy to swing your leg over in everyday riding. A pump is included with this bike.

This particular example was ridden in 2019 and then serviced but hasn't been used since due to the owner's changing circumstances. It's in good condition with low mileage. Along with the main listing, the seller also has the original L-kit available, a tube tool and puncture repair kit (additional to the standard spec), spare tubes, and a folding rolling travel case, though these are listed separately. The bike is available with a pump included.
