I was seriously considering the 3 speed merc that anita was selling on the bay. However, with current exchange rates it would have cost me a little over $800 (including shipping). Dang you weak U.S. economy!
Anita was really nice and would have shipped to the U.S. I ended up getting an brompton M3L from a U.S. retailer for about $100 more. I figured the Brompton has better base components and would hold its value better. Also, I have a local dealer who can service it, if need be. A good thing about the merc is that it comes with a front carry bag/block, carry bag and something else I can't remember.
I will post pix of my new M3L in a day or two.
