@virtualchuta Like all things everything ends up on ebay eventually - setting up saved searches or RSS feeds of searches might help you find one without constantly looking (I found my bargain TSR 27 this way). Search for Merc but also flamingo, nishiki Oxford or as wikipedia documents the clones"

"During 2003, Neobike exhibited a—now unlicensed—copy of the Brompton bicycle design at the European Eurobike show.[SUP][1][/SUP] Unlicensed copies of the Brompton product were then imported into The Netherlands (under the name "Scoop One" and "Astra Flex V3"), into the United Kingdom (under the name "Merc") and into Spain (as the Nishiki "Oxford Bicycle")."
