Apologies if this breaks any rules.

A few months ago a customer gave me their old Brompton - it was a wreck, but the mainframe was solid, so I've repainted it and rebuilt it with new parts, and I'm now selling it for charity - every penny will go to Medicins Sans Frontiers.

This is a bloody brilliant thing, Ben. Bloody brilliant!

Nice looking bike, too! Will spread this around a little.

It's a complete pain to respray a Brompton - have to dismantle all the pivots then carefully reassemble afterwards. Usually around £250ish to do.
