Brompton 2016 M3L folding bike - Stardust Black

Stardust Black Brompton folding bike model M3L (M=handlebar type, 3=3 gears, L=with mudguards)

The new Stardust Black colour from Brompton - introduced in 2016 proves "all that glitters isn't gold" - it has speckles in the black paint which catch and reflect light - it looks particularly good on a bright sunny day!

Because the Bromton folds to such a small size means it is accepted on just about all public transport (some companies require that you have it in a bag when on a bus / train), can be stored under your desk when at work or in a small cupboard when at home.
