The original folding bike - compact urban mobility since 1975, hand-brazed in London
Brompton embodies urban freedom through ingenious engineering, transforming a full-function bicycle into a compact, self-locking package in under 20 seconds. Founded on Andrew Ritchie's 1975 vision, every bike is hand-brazed in London with tolerances of +-0.2mm - one tenth the industry standard. The modular design has remained fundamentally unchanged for 50 years, refined by continuous improvement rather than reinvention.
