You can't go that wrong with a Brom: if you never use it you'll be
able to sell it on at an excellent price,........

Finally, my personal opinion is the 'C' budget model is a false
economy: yes, it's cheaper, but no mudguards and downgraded
components is just something you'll pay for later

I'm pretty certain that Brompton have discontinued the "C" model, so the
concerns about buying budget parts then replacing them shortly afterwards no
longer exists.

If wanting the ultimate lightweight Brompton, its no longer the cheap C, but
the expensive Titanium option in single-speed form.
