We always keep a range of Bromptons in stock, 2 speed, 3 speed, 6 speed, S-Type and M-Type, with and without titanium, come and have a test ride.

The Brompton is a finely engineered and elegant machine. It has a full-size frame, which for strength and stiffness is made mainly of steel. Thanks to a careful choice of alloys and tube sections, it's light and the bike is easy to carry. Actual weight depends on the configuration and ranges from about nine to thirteen kilos. The Brompton's remarkable ability to fold is achieved without complexity, and its maintenance needs are much the same as for a normal bike.		As for the ride, the Brompton is a lively machine. The combination of a rigid frame and accurate alignment makes for efficient transmission of your energy. Moreover, the small wheels have a number of intrinsic advantages: they are strong, light, easy to accelerate and highly maneuverable. The Brompton is the only bike in the world to combine such ready portability with a first-class ride, and it creates countless new opportunities for using a bicycle

M Type		Available as 1 speed, 2 speed, 3 speed, 6 speed. Optional include a rack, titanium seatpost, titanium extremities, hub or bottle dynamo lighting. Phone or email us to discuss your custom built Brompton

M-type. The classic shape of the M-type handlebar has been used on the Brompton since the outset. It gives a fairly upright ride with excellent control. Grip height is 1015mm, and there is scope for a little fore/aft adjustment. The M-type is a general purpose Brompton, as much at home around town as for exploring in the country, and with plenty of room for luggage at the front

P Type
		Available as 1 speed, 2 speed, 3 speed, 6 speed. Optional include a rack, titanium seatpost, titanium extremities, hub or bottle dynamo lighting. Phone or email us to discuss your custom built Brompton
P-type. The foam lower grips, well forward and about 880mm from the ground, are angled for comfort on longer stretches of road, and you can deliver some real power to the pedals. Take care, however, as the brakes are on the upper bar, and you should only use this lower position when the road is quite clear. The upper grips, at about 1033mm, provide a welcome contrast, and also give the best position for maneuvering in traffic. The P-type is a bit heavier than an M-type, and there’s less room for over-filling a front pannier, but it’s the best choice for longer distances and touring, or if you intend to do some fast riding.

S Type
		Available as 1 speed, 2 speed, 3 speed, 6 speed. Optional include a rack, titanium seatpost, titanium extremities, hub or bottle dynamo lighting. Phone or email us to discuss your custom built Brompton
S-type. The S-type is for many the prettiest Brompton, and with its Kevlar brake cables and high-tensile-alloy handlebar it’s the lightest. The grips are light foam, and, at about 935mm from the ground, appreciably lower than on the M-type, and 50mm further forward: so you can get well down out-of-the- wind, and enjoy the positive feel of these bikes. Front luggage for an S-type is the S-bag: there is no room under the handlebar for any of the other full-size luggage options. The S-type is ideal for getting about town, but as with any Brompton you can just as well use it for days out in the country. An S-type is also a sensible choice for smaller riders seeking lower bars.
