This was a lockdown project - bought locally and completely rebuilt with new rear pivot, nice Tange alloy cartridge headset, Shimano BB, Spa cranks. It has the older SRAM rear hub (which I rebuilt with new bearings using the last of my genuine SRAM hub grease) but, since spares are difficult, I can include a complete rebuilt internal unit as a spare, plus unworn sprockets.
It has a a Brooks Swallow titanium saddle, an SP dynamo hub, a B&M Cyo front light and a B&M rear battery light, because batteries last all winter and cables are ugly. There are also bar ends which don't interfere with folding - tricky to find for an S-type - and it has the longer seatpost. The rear suspension block is the very firm Joseph Kuosac one, which really reduces "pogoing" when pedalling.
It wasn't rusty but I sprayed Dynax S50 into all the open tubes anyway.
I haven't ridden it much, and never in the rain. I have another Brompton.
I'm in Swindon but I can bring it to That London next month or meet you partway.
