Welcome to the fold!
A community for all Bromptonites of the Fediverse!
The Brompton is a folding bicycle which is known for its unique design and compact folded size. The 3-part fold transforms the bike into an incredibly small locked package in no time.
Made in London, UK - loved all over the world. <3

Totally! Especially the translucent "lacquer" finishes are especially cool. I even heard they have special welders that build these frames since the transparent colors call for especially nice and clean welds.
@maxmalrichtig @ukuku There is an interesting documentary about the manufacturing of a Brompton: BBC A Very British Bike Factory (https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x8dlrlw) #Brompton
Thank you very much! Quite a wholesome documentary. ๐ฅฐ
