Now as to how to locate one at a decent price. I looked into this last year before settling on something else. Here are the steps you need to take.
  1. Make friends with someone from the UK either here or on another forum. I already had a bunch so this was the easy step for me
  2. Look here, http://www.gumtree.com/for_sale/leis.../brompton_bike
  3. Be careful of a really low price, some are scams,some are stolen
  4. send your buddy money, have him purchase it and ship it to you.
  5. Still cheaper than a used US Brommie.

BTW I didn't follow through with this, but passed it along to a buddy else where, he paid U.S. $500 plus $150 for shipping etc for a used M style brommie.
