Brompton bike 6-Speed C Line (M6L) – Flame Lacquer Orange – MINT CONDITION
This is a Brompton M6L, a British-made steel folding bike in Flame Lacquer orange—one of Brompton's distinctive colours that doesn't appear in the standard range. The bike has been ridden just once since purchase and remains in mint condition throughout, having been stored indoors and well looked after. It arrives complete with the original owner's manual and all the practical touches you'd expect from a Brompton ready to use: front carrier block, mudguards, Schwalbe Marathon Racer tyres, a pump, reflectors, and an integrated bell.
The 6-speed hub gear setup uses Brompton's smooth gear-change mechanism, which handles moderate hills without fuss and keeps maintenance straightforward compared to derailleur systems. The 16-inch wheels contribute to the bike's compact fold and nimble handling in traffic, though they do demand a bit more pedalling to maintain speed on longer flat stretches. The steel frame is durable and absorbs vibration well, and the side-pull caliper brakes provide reliable stopping power for urban riding.
Where the Brompton excels is in the fold itself. The lateral design reduces the bike to a neat package that fits under a desk, in a train luggage rack, or into a small hallway without taking up much space. Once you've folded and unfolded it a few times, the process becomes automatic. Day to day, the upright riding position gives good visibility in traffic, the mudguards keep you cleaner in wet weather, and the integrated bell means you're sorted for commuting or casual urban riding without needing to bolt on extras.
This particular bike is being sold as a collection only. It's in excellent condition and ready to ride exactly as it comes.
