Imagine Phil and his missus riding up to Euston for the Royal Train on a matching pair!!.

You don't see many in that pink shade either - you'd need to be a very confident bloke to select that over black or british racing green.

(My first was red and the current one is cornflower blue).

Brompron as in West London? Spent many days of my childhood in Brompton cemetery been shown yet more grave stones of some old releatives who died before the stream train was invented.

I bought one earlier this year, apple green with British racing green extremities.

It's mainly for use at my caravan in leafy North Yorkshire, so it's a country Brompton.

Good tool - anyone thinking of a folding bike would be well-advised to consider one.
