Know what you are buying?

We just had a customer ring looking for a 3 speed Sturmey Archer gear indicator chain for his Brompton - just purchased on e-bay.

The Brompton was described as:
3 years old
3 speed
As new (hardly used) condition

We checked the rear wheel and frame number (the customer said the bike looked pretty beaten up) with Brompton - and both were made in 1999 - and it was 5 not 3 speed.

If you are not sure - check the frame number with us or Brompton (it's on the main frame below the seat post) BEFORE buying.

Is it spring?

The sun is shining - could it be time to get out and about on your bike again?

What's stopping you (or not)?

If your bike's not stopping properly - maybe you need to check the brakes.
