The Classic Brompton Folding Bike – Built for City Life
The Brompton C Line is the original steel folding bike, handmade in London since 1975. It folds in 20 seconds into a compact, easy-to-carry package—perfect for trains, desks, or car boots. Customisable with luggage, a rear rack, and a hidden toolkit, it’s a smart, go-anywhere city bike.
Now with 12 Speeds – More Gears, More Freedom

With the Advance Rear Frame, it rolls effortlessly when folded, making city travel even smoother.
