Brompton If buying from BJ and their agents need to follow factory price list, no freedom for changing price or they will be kicked like the previous sole agent.

Which I this is a good way not try to profiterring from high demand but it creates sclapers market

Previously there is no agent in Singapore.

Distributor of Thailand, Indonesia & Singapore is the same company.

Distributor of Singapore is also the AD.

Agent or called sole distributor was MV last time. Indonesia demand for Brompton is crazy high but no one there wants to be offical agent becuase they have to follow factory rigid RRP. Is better to be reseller in Indonesia could mark up as they wish, normal M6R/S6L in selling SGD 5k plus there.....so many people here (read) in SG exporting to Indonesia too. Chapter 3 latest one could fetch more than $10k in Indonesia and buyers are queing. They are crazy!!!!

Indonesia and Thailand have 35% import duty.  Singapore price then was much higher than whatever price in the UK.

That's why there was a lot of PI then.  Even Nparks buy from PI.

I don't rem factory set any price then.

my regular shop told me about this. That’s why even demand high those official channels not jacking up the price. Not like Tyrell  now double the price just because demand high.

I think Brompton Junction sell 6 speed without rack and mudguard.

My wife bought Chap3 that is supposed to be a LIMITED EDITION.

That's why sometime I felt Brompton limited edition is a scam 🙂 nothing special only colors and saddle otherwise all the parts with normal brompton yet premium is quite high.

No mudguard model is ending with "E", Rack ending with "R" and mudguard only no rack ending with "L"

Chpt3 is equal to S6E-X in normal model, -X means extremities are in Titanium

 

Extremities in Brompton talking is front fork and rear triangle
