Happy birthday!
I purchased my trusty Brommie 24 years ago today. It's a T3/T6 - when I got it I paid for a T6 but Brompton weren't shipping bikes equipped with the derailleur. You either had it shipped to you after a few weeks or you took the bike back to the dealer and they fitted it. Subsequently, it has had the SRAM rear wheel replaced with the wide range Sturmey Archer.
It spent the first 21.5 years living in Birmingham, UK before taking retirement to Adelaide, South Australia. Far better weather, but as you see, we have a different set of problems.
Here's to the next 24 years!
