Brompton G Line "Mini-Marred" Bikes

Brompton G Line "Mini-Marred" Bikes

These G Line bikes arrived with minor finish imperfections in the paint. They are primarily very small rubs or tiny nicks. These issues are difficult to see by the casual observer and they have been touched-up with matching paint. 

This is a substantial savings from the regular retail price of $3500.

These minor mars do not mechanically or structurally impact the performance of the bike.
