Brompton C Line Urban Mid Handlebar-Black

The Classic All-Steel Folding Bike. Original design refined for modern cities. The original design with the 3-part fold, handmade in our London factory since 1975.Compact and robust-it’s a seriously engineered bike that’s fun to ride. Although C Line is made to stand up to the rigours of everyday life in the city, owners have taken them on around-the-world trips, on country tours and even to the South Pole, but mainly they are used 364-days a year to improve the day-to-day (we recommend a day-off for an annual service).
The minimalist 2 speed C Line. Simple set up-lighter weight. For flatter cities or strong legs in hilly places.
With 2 gears, the C Line Urban is lighter to ride and carry than all other C Line models. And with one gear trigger, it’s simple to use. Those that are up and down stairs, walking along platforms and in and out of lifts, will appreciate the benefits of this bike’s Iower weight.
