Brompton M6L

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 currently are 16 weeks, but varies  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.

M - type The classic shape of the M - type handlebar has been used on the Bromption since the outset. It gives a fairly upright ride with excellent control. Grip height is about 1015mm and there is scope for a small amout of fore/aft adjustment.

Saddle height and position

With the standard seat pillar. a PU saddle can be up to 965mm from the ground, and a rail saddle (such as Vitesse or Brooks) up to 995mm high. If your inside leg measurement is more than 32” (or 33” with a rail saddle), you almost certainly  need a longer seat piller.  The telescopic pillar is best for an inside leg more than 35”  or for a taller rider wishing to minimise the height of the folded bike.  The weights are for steel pillars.

a

b

Extended Seat Pillar (a) (+150gms)

60mm longer than the standard seat pillar, with the saddle corrrespondingly higher when folded

Saddle Adaptor pin (+125gms)

This brings the saddle forward, and, if fitted pointing down, allows the smallest folded bike-size. pointing up, it raises the saddle 30mm

Mudguards and Rack

Version L mudguards.

Essential for most users, giving all the protection you need.

Telescopic Seat Pillar (b) (+295gms)

Allows a saddle height up to 175mm higher than normal, yet when lowered the saddle projects only 20mm from the folded package.
