Welcome to the Brompton page, in this section of the website you can check the different option to customize your Brompton, just continue reading to find out what you can do with them. Once you have decided what yoy want in your Brompton or you need furder advice you can call us to the 01 8734748 or email us following this link. 

 

The Brompton is a bike which rides superbly, is safe, agile and fast, yet folds easily and quickly into a highly-compact and portable package. The result is a vehicle that increases your sense of freedom and independence.

 

The first option that you will choose is the type of handlebars that you want in your bike, you can choose between three different options.

 

S-Type

 

For many, this is the prettiest Brompton, and with its Kevlar brake cables and high-tensile-alloy handlebar, it is the lightest. The grips, at about 935mm from the ground, are appreciably lower than on the M type, and 50mm further forward, giving a sporty riding position which complements the positive feel of these bikes.

 

M-Type

 

The gull-wing shape of the M Type's handlebars has been used on the Brompton since the outset: the grip height is 1015mm, which gives a fairly upright ride with excellent control, and there is scope for a little fore/aft adjustment. The M Type is the all-rounder in our range and remains the most popular Brompton.

 

P-Type

 

The multiple positions afforded by the P Type’s handlebars are designed with the touring cyclist in mind. Although they are a little heavier than the M Type's handlebars, the lower grips, about 880mm from the ground and angled for comfort on longer stretches of road, allow the rider to get down out of the wind and deliver real power to the pedals; the upper grips at about 1033mm provide a welcome contrast after a long stretch of riding and also give great control for manoeuvring in traffic.

 

 

Once youy have chosen the handlebars type the next step is to choose the number of gears that you want on your bike.

 

 

Singlespeed

 

 

Featuring just the elegant simplicity of our rear hub, this is the purist's choice. As with all single-speed cycling, the direct drive minimises pedalling inefficiency, though the lack of gear range may make this option unsuitable for those riding over hilly terrain and/or looking for more acceleration.

 

2 Speed

 

One gear for hills & starting off, and one for cruising. Based on the unique Brompton derailleur system and an elegant new Brompton rear hub, this is the best gearing solution for lightness and portability. The direct drive, with near-perfect chain-alignment in either gear, is crisp and efficient.

 

3 Speed

The classic Sturmey-Archer hub, upgraded to an alloy shell, provides three well-spaced gears. These are fully enclosed for reliability, and control couldn’t be simpler. A popular choice for everyday biking.

 

6 Speed

The combination of the new, highly-efficient Brompton Wide Range hub with our own derailleur system gives six evenly-spaced gears. Control with the two triggers is easy and, with its low transmission losses and wide range, this multi-gear system is the right choice for touring and for riding in hilly areas.

 

 

The third step on costumization of your Brompton is to choose mudgards, rack or non of them.

 

Version E (no mudguards)

 

The lightest, cheapest and prettiest version, but with obvious drawbacks: although the folded package stands up OK, it’s not as stable as the other versions, and there's no pump fitted. Most importantly, of course, there is no protection from any water or dirt thrown up from the road.

 

 

Version L (mudguards and no rack)

 

 

 

The most common package: all-weather riding without any extra weight.

 

Version R (mudguards and rear rack)

 

Version R provides the additional functionality of a luggage rack over the rear wheel. The die-cast aluminium rack comes with shock cords for tying items on, and a specially-designed Rack Sack is also available for use with it. The rear rack also allows the optional fitting of our Eazy Wheels, enabling the folded bike to be pulled along instead of carried.

 

The fourth step is will be to choose the colour, you can choose between 15 different colours, and if you think that a single colour is boring, you can combine two colours to have an even more exclusive bike.

 

Colour

 

You can choose either to have your Brompton finished in one colour or in two, with the extremities and main frame contrasting. The raw lacquer option (a clear coating highlighting the braze detail and quality) is however only available for the whole frame, not in combination.

 

 

   

Aplle Green                                    Baby Pink                                      Black

Standard seat pillar

The standard seat pillar is the default option; its shorter length keeps the weight down and ensures the most compact folded package. A standard seat pillar should be fine for anyone with an inside leg measurement of 33"/840mm or less.

 

Extended (60mm)

 

 

60mm (over 2 inches) longer than the standard seat pillar and a bit heavier, designed for those with longer legs and available at no extra charge. The main drawback is that the seat pillar protrudes correspondingly higher from the folded package

 

 

Telescopic steel

The telescopic seat pillar is designed for those with an inside leg greater than 35"/890mm or for taller riders wishing to minimise how far the seat pillar protrudes from the folded package. The telescopic seat pillar gives up to 175mm (almost 7 inches) more elevation yet, when lowered, the saddle projects only 20mm above the folded package.

 

One selected the pillar for the bike (if a lonnger one is needed) we'll choose the saddle of the bike, for that we have two options.

 

Brompton Saddle

Sporty, comfortable, light, practical: this high-quality unisex saddle has been designed by Brompton specifically for our bikes. A moulded grip under the nose facilitates carrying, and the ingenious and incredibly light Brompton Pentaclip allows stepless adjustment of the saddle angle

Brooks B17

Made for Brompton, this beautiful traditional saddle will give years of comfortable cycling, the leather moulding with time to the rider. Finished with hand-hammered copper rivets, and fitted with the Brompton Pentaclip for stepless adjustment, this old favourite is available in men’s and women’s versions.

 

To make the Bromtons more confortable they come with a small rear suspension, but if you preffer you can choose to have the firm suspension that is a much harder rubber piece.

 

You can also choose the tyres that will go with your Brompton, lets see them

 

Brompton standard

The Yellows are exceptionally free-running high-pressure tyres which are durable yet light and carry a low risk of punctures. They come with reflective sidewalls as standard, eliminating the need for reflectors on the wheel spokes.

Brompton Kevlar

 

The Greens are essentially our standard tyres but with a Kevlar belt under the tread. This barely affects the free-running qualities of the tyre and almost eliminates the likelihood of punctures. They also come with reflective sidewalls as standard, eliminating the need for reflectors on the wheel spokes.

 

Schwalbe Marathon

The Marathons are a little heavier than the Brompton tyres and the deep uni-directional tread, which gives superior grip, also means that they are not quite as free-running. But they are solidly-built, with both a Kevlar belt and a thicker sidewall to lower the risk of pinch-punctures. Like the Brompton tyres, they also come with reflective sidewalls, eliminating the need for reflectors on the wheel spokes.

 

Schwalbe Stelvio

The Stelvios are narrow section tyres comparable to the tyres fitted to road race bikes; maintained at even higher pressures than our other tyres, these lightweight slicks are the fastest in our range. Their slightly smaller diameter means that gearing is lowered by 2.5% and their narrower width also makes them unsuitable for use with tyre-driven dynamo lighting. They do not come with a reflective sidewall, so reflectors are fitted to the wheels.

Brompton front luggage options are based on our Front Carrier System; luggage is attached via a special frame that latches securely onto a tapered block. It takes a second to attach or release your luggage and the load is attached directly to the main frame, having little effect on steering.

All front luggage, except the folding basket, comes supplied with a shoulder strap and a high-visibility rainproof cover; secured to luggage using an elasticated hem, its sealed seams help keep luggage dry in heavy rain, and it takes up no room when folded.

N.B. The lower handlebars limit the front luggage options on an S Type: only the S Bag is designed for use with the S Type's lower profil

Folding basket set

This is our simplest item of luggage - a large, open-top container, ideal for shopping. Its shape is maintained by a simple bracing frame which folds flat for storage. Drainage holes are provided in case of rain. Capacity 24 litres.

C Bag set

A larger messenger-style bag with a Velcro- and buckle-fastened flap. The comfortable padded shoulder strap secures neatly when the bag is fitted to the bike. A multitude of pockets finished with water resistant zips keep those small essentials safe and dry and a bright lining means an end to searching for small items in the dark recesses of your bag. Capacity 22 litres.

Touring pannier set

Has considerably more capacity than the Cloth Pannier, and a roll-top system with nylon clips for closing. There are two pockets at the back and a divider inside. In addition, there are three elasticated net pockets around the outside, where you can stow the things you need during your ride. Total internal capacity approximately 28 litres.

S Bag set

A messenger-style bag which presents a lower profile than the other options, and offers more compartments to store the paraphernalia of modern life. Velcro-fastening tabs keep things dry, with clips as well for the main cover. This is the only front luggage option for the S Type’s lower handlebars, but can also be used on other Bromptons. Capacity 20 litres.

Rain cover

Comes with all front luggage options except the Folding Basket. Dayglow yellow for visibility, this rainproof cover keeps your luggage dry in heavy rain. An elasticated hem secures the cover along the foot of any of our front luggage options; when not in use, it takes up almost no space.

 

You can also select the rear luggage, for this you will need the rear rack.

 

Rack sack

Made from tough DuPont Cordura, the Rack Sack has been designed to complement the Brompton's rear rack perfectly. With the sides lined for stiffness, the Rack Sack offers 16 litres of storage without obscuring any Brompton lighting system. It is attached to the bike via straps, clips and Velcro around the suspension bung, the rear rack and the seat pillar, offering a highly secure, shower-proof solution. Comes supplied with a shoulder strap.

Eazy Wheels

 

These tyred rollers with industrial bearings can either be fitted to the rear rack, or in place of the rollers attached to the rear frame, allowing the folded bike to be smoothly pushed/pulled around. A rubber bung, fitted to the bottom of the seat post, can be used as a brake to prevent unwanted rolling.

Cover and saddle bag

Often useful, especially when travelling on public transport, the zip-up Brompton Cover is quick to fit and remove, and features a draw cord around its base to ensure a secure fit. The cover comes in a saddle bag, ensuring it is readily to hand; the saddle bag can be attached to purpose-built fastening loops at the rear of the basic and Brooks saddles or to the rails of the Vitesse saddle.

Brompton bag (B Bag)

Weighing 2.4Kg and made of tough nylon with 5mm padding and a reinforced base, the B Bag is designed to provide protection against bumps and knocks on longer journeys. The B Bag's integral castors, shoulder strap and carry handles make transportation easy, and when not in use it packs down flat for storage.

 

Those are all the options that you have to costumize your bike, once yoy have selectyed what you prefer on your bike we will order it and from the moment of the orther it takes from 6 to 8 weeks to build each bike, the reason for that is that as ech bike is different it have to be hand built. You will have to ad a extra week for the delivery.

 

The prices of the Bromptons start around €700 and could go up to €2200 depending on you choices.
