Brompton Bikes

Beautiful, Brilliant and British!

Made for taxis…made for speed…made for trains…made for escaping…made for offices…made for you.

Brompton Bikes are British bikes;  engineered in the UK and handmade to order  in London since 1975. They are made mainly of steel for strength and stiffness, but are also available in a superlight frame, and are designed to be practical and light enough to be genuinely portable; actual weight depends on model and configuration, but ranges from 9 – 12½ kg (20 – 28lbs).

The Brompton Fold

A key feature of the Brompton is the compactness and practicality of its fold. It’s really easy to learn, and in a short space of time with a few practices most people can get it down to between 10 and 30 seconds!  There are folk though, for whom everything is a competition…

The dimensions of the folded bike are: 585mm high x 545mm long x 270mm wide (23″ x 21.5″ x 10.6″).

When folded, a Brompton stays locked together, making an extremely compact package only a little larger than its wheels. It can be picked up without any risk that the bike will unfold – reassuring when running for a train…

 
The Challenge is On!
The Choice is Yours

We usually stock a selection of off the peg models that are available and ready to go. There are also usually custom build Bromptons available, with a large amount of options & colours available.

However, in these Covid times neither of these is currently possible. If you are interested in purchasing a Brompton, contact the shop and we will let you know the situation and the most up to date information that we have!
