It looks to be 3 speed with I think M-type bars, rear mudguard & rack and maybe a front mount for a bag - however, I'm still a novice with folding bikes.
It cleaned up Ok but I think it needs some work (at least one spoke is broken).

What I'm trying to decide is if its worth upgrading to 6 speed and possibly updating to disk brakes, or selling it. It's been in my shed for 3 years and used once..
It's red and I'm not keen on that colour..
But it's a Brompton which I've wanted for a while.

Quandry.
