    Barely used Brompton looking for new loving home… I love cycling but not enough courage to do it much in Brum. Bike bought in ’06 but only used for a few months and kept safe and dry in airing cupboard since (it’s great bike for anyone living in a flat or using trains much as it doesn’t take much space). Paid many hundreds when new; open to reasonable offers (only selling due to save for house deposit). For good offers happy to add bicycle ‘paraphernalia’ (airpump, high visibility coat & leg bands, clip on bike light etc); bike currently resides in B10. For any questions: riannetv AT care2.com
