The ultimate bike for people who live in cities. Small wheels mean fast acceleration and increased manoeuvrability through busy streets.
Handmade In London Since 1975
Brompton’s history can be traced back to 1975, when the inventor and founder, Andrew Ritchie, created prototypes of Brompton bikes from his bedroom in South Kensington, London. Each bike is hand brazed by a skilled craftsman at our London factory. This makes every bike incredibly tough and unique. Each brazer is trained by Brompton for 18 months and has a ‘signature’ which they stamp on the parts of the bike that they work on.
We are creators
Everyone at Brompton plays a small part in making these bikes and getting them into the hands of people to ride, find their route and enjoy. From Andrew Ritchie’s first sketches in 1975, right through to today, it’s people that make the products, and people that make us different.
Ride for longer
We know very well how addictive the Brompton and cycling can be, you can own your own bike for the ultimate convenience.
