How Sad; Who Would Prefer A Cruiser Bike Over A Brompton?

If you are curious as I was, here it is:

Pink Brompton M6L folding bike bicycle - $1300 (Sherman Oaks)
(Sherman Oaks Is A Nice & Financially Blessed Suburb Of Los Angeles )

".......6 speed, current model. Comes with set of Eazy wheels and front light. Purchased from Electric Bikes L.A. (a really large folding/electric bicycle retailer in Los Angeles) a year ago.

This foldable bike is in mint condition. If this listing has caught your eye, I imagine you already know all about the Brompton, the ultimate in folding bikes from Britain. I love my Brompton so I bought one for the wife. Unfortunately, she seems to prefer her beach cruiser bike so... here it is......."

What do you think of this bike? IMO, the only hold back to this particular mint condition beautiful Brompton is not the price, it's the color! It seems to me you might lose 50 percent of the possible purchaser population due to pink prejudice as a "girly" bike. Even my boring red Brompton has a better chance at finding a purchaser (assuming that I would ever part with it-my strong answer is never!).

Some photos below if ad is still up.
