Bought Me A Brompton

Now I'm officially at Bloodhound (first day last Friday) I've decided that rather than sit in the traffic for over an hour for the 10mile commute home I'll be letting the train take the strain.
The walk from home to the station is 10mins, then it's 25mins walk from Temple Meads station to the BTC where Bloodhound is based, so I thought cycling was better than walking to/from the station, but it's a nightmare getting the road bike on the train as it's just too packed in the mornings.
This fact was used to justify, using special man maths, the purchase of a 12 month old, immaculate Brompton M5L from welovebromptons.co.uk. It comes with rear rack, Brompton dynamo, Brompton pump in stealthy black Paint, cost me £550 Inc delivery, a good £350 or so cheaper than a new one of similar spec.
Should be delivered on Wednesday, looking forwards to getting on it.
