How much would be a fair price for this Brompton
Hello everyone,
I found one Brompton in my area but other than this photo I have no idea on the model and year. Asking price is 700 euros. It has dynamo hub at front and three speeds. Seat is worn and would need replacement, that's what I can see from the photos. Also, the headsets seem to be caught by a little bit of rust too, obviously since these are made of galvanized steel and not some other rust proof material. Some minor scratches from use on the frame and rack too but nothing serious.
What is your opinion on the price? Can you please help me to determine the model too.
Thank you.

The model is H3R. The price is dependent on age and condition which is hard to see by just a picture though it appears to be in good condition. If so I would say it is a good value if it is what you want.
Just by looking and guessing it would appear to be a 2014 or so.

Please check how it was used? How often it was used and what conditions. If it is a daily used one (winter season included), it should have been maintained well. 700 looks a fair price from the picture. There is also telescopic post.

The crank with removable chainring and the brake levers appeared in 2013. This bike has still the old style speed shifter, so it guess its a 2013, 2014 or 2015.
The serial number of the bike start with the manufacturing year and month.
With the hub dynamo which is an option, 700€ seems a fair price.

How much is the new B75 where you are? If it isn't all that much more, it's also 3 speed I believe and comes with a warranty.
