Bromptons are the big favourite with commuters, extremely compact when folded, yet in 15 to 20 seconds transforms into a bike that you’ll be proud to ride, with excellent handling around town, or even a joy to ride on those longer trips, with a choice of two, three or six speed versions. In addition there are options of 12% reduced gearing for those particularly hilly regions.
The new range of Bromptons has introduced very many possibilities, from three styles of handlebar, lightweight Titanium rear swing arm and forks, Titanium seatposts and folding pedal axles, to a new 2 speed system. This has without doubt broadened the appeal, and younger riders feel more at home with the sport range, and the new colour introductions.
Although Brompton offer the A la Carte ordering system, which we are more than willing to operate for those that require it, the big downside is the delivery times which vary from 3 - 7 weeks according to the time of year and demand.
We have therefore decided to stock some standard models and some with Specifications and colours of our own choice, in order that we can supply bikes for immediate delivery.
We give the full specifications on our web pages
We give FOC with every Brompton ordered a bwh KOFFER bike carrying bag worth £39.95, or both the Brompton cover/saddlebag worth £19.00 + Topeak multi- tool worth £19.99 if preferred. Click on bag to view

1 - speed ( - 775gms) Light, simple to use and no clutter - for the purist
2 - speed (- 630gms). One gear for hills ans starting from a standstill, and one for cruising. Based on the unique Brompton derailleur system and their special rear free-hub, it is the best setup for lightness and portability. The direct drive, with near perfect chain alignment, is crisp and efficient. All that you need for riding around town, and fine for country rides too, if you don’t mind getting off on the steeper hills.
3 -speed The classic Sturmey-Archer hub, now with an alloy shell, provides three well- spaced gears. These are fully enclosed for reliability, and changing gear couldn’t be simpler. A popular choice for average everyday usage.
6 - speed ( +145gms) The combination of Sram’s very efficient hub-gears with Brompton’s own derailleur system gives six evenly spaced close-coupled ratios. Control with the two triggers is easy, and with it’s low transmission losses this multi- gear system is the right choice for touring and for riding in hilly areas.

S - type (-145gms) The S type is for many the prettiest Brompton, and with it’s Kevlar brake cables and high tensile alloy handlebar it’s also the lightest. The grips are light foam, and, at about 935mm from the ground, appreciably lower than on an M - type, and 50mm further forward. The ride position means that you can get well down out of wind, and enjoy the lively and positive feel of these bikes.
Front luggage for an S - type involves the use of a special S- type bag as there is no room under the handlebars for any of the full size luggage options.
The S - type is ideal for getting about in 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.

All Folding Bikes are thoroughly prepared and checked in the workshop in order to validate the warranties, this involves a thorough setup and adjustment of spokes, bearings, brakes, gears (stops and cable adjustment). The chainset and crank, handlebars and all nuts and bolts are checked for tightness and the pedals fitted. Finally the tyre pressures are set and the folding joints and all quick releases are lubricated and adjusted. After a brief test ride (mainly indoor) they are then carefully packed back into the original boxes using appropriate packaging, this means that the bikes when received and unfolded are ‘ready to ride’ . All 26” wheel Dahon bikes arrive in the UK in boxes with the frame unfolded but the bike partially dismantled. We have taken the decision that in order to properly achieve our highest aim and that of the responsible manufacturers with whom we liase, that we therefore, properly prepare then fold the completed bike with only the handlebar removed, it is therefore necessary for us to repackage the bike accordingly on account of it’s larger size when assembled.
