SOLD Pair of Bickerton fold up bikes, as new condition (Brompton Alternative) (1 Viewer)

[Hellski]

Purchased both bikes last year as we had intended to use whilst away in our motorhome. However, my wife witnessed a horrific cycle accident and was put off from cycling Therefore, hers has never been used and stayed at home.

Mine the Junction 1909 Country has traveled many miles in our garage with the good intention of using at chosen destination but unfortunately, on many occasions that's where it stayed. Only used on a handful of rides and always in the dry.

We've now changed our motorhome that has a scooter garage and therefore, would be rude not to have a scooter rendering the fold up bikes not required.

These are in excellent condition and I've included detailed specs below. In regard to price we paid over £1,500.00 for both bikes. If both bikes are purchased together, I would accept £750, otherwise priced individually as follows.

Junction 1909 Country = £550.00

Junction 1707 Country = £325.00 (include brand new Topeak Trunk Bag)

Any inspection welcome and happy to take more pictures if required. Collection only or could meet if within a reasonable distance.

Lovely bikes. I still have a 1970s Bickerton.

The folded height (71cm) is slightly too tall for our PVC underbed storage area (675mm) otherwise they would be perfect for us. Good luck with the sale.

Thank you and such a shame they are slightly too tall for your use.

If no funster's are interested, I will be listing on eBay after the weekend.

Hi OGB, they are indeed Happy to answer any questions you may have

We overcame the height problem by removing the saddle and post for transportation, just a thought for others.
