Was amazed to read that NPark bought bikes at that price! I purchase a 'D' brand more than 15 years ago that can be folded and put into a carrying bag for $500. I thought It was expensive when I saw other brands going for less.

NParks staff merely need to get from point A to B in order to check the park connectors. Why can't a $100/- bike from Giant not adequate...? Just because KhawBW checked and it was purchased within tender guidelines does not means it is not extravagant.............

Are you one of those, who is using the bike to actually get from that point A to B... if not, how you know a $100 bike from Giant will work as good ?? Also.. does anyone here knows what is the fully contract for NPark's purchase... I mean... with the purchase... how many years of warranty and parts ?? Could we said the same about a $100 bike from Giant ?? :think:
when a Government body or MNC makes a purchase, usually there are incentives and discounts thrown in e.g. free maintenance, spare parts for a longer period, lower prices etc.
so when normal consumers like us look at the price tag, we balk. the actual price could be much lower
$2200 for a Brompton is a really good price esp if there is a maintenance and parts package thrown in with a fleet buy
A 2nd hand Brompton locally usually sells on togoparts.com for between $2200 to $2500 already
