Brompton C-Line 2 Speed Folding Bike 2024

This is a pre-owned Brompton C-Line 2 Speed folding bike from 2024 in Ocean Blue. It's a British-made steel folding bicycle built for urban commuting and mixed-use riding where portability matters. The steel frame uses Brompton's characteristic lateral fold, which collapses the bike down to a compact size suitable for storage under a desk, in a cupboard, or on public transport. At 11.75kg, it's a manageable weight to carry up stairs or onto a train.

The C-Line features a 2-speed external rear derailleur with a Brompton groupset, paired with a 50-tooth crankarm and KMC chain. The gearing is straightforward and handles gentle hills and flat urban terrain without fuss, though steeper climbs will demand more effort. The 16-inch Brompton wheels with Schwalbe Marathon Racer 35c tyres keep the overall package compact whilst offering decent grip and rolling comfort on mixed surfaces. Rim brakes with Brompton calipers provide reliable stopping power in typical commuting conditions.

Day to day, the bike handles the stop-start rhythm of city cycling well. The mid-position Brompton handlebars offer an upright riding stance that gives good visibility in traffic and keeps the wrists comfortable on short journeys. The extended seatpost adjusts to accommodate different riders, and the Brompton saddle is designed to suit the riding position. The fold becomes intuitive after a few attempts, making it genuinely convenient for users who combine cycling with bus or train journeys.

This bike suits commuters who regularly mix cycling with public transport, or anyone working with tight storage constraints in a flat or office. The pre-owned example shows marks to the handlebars, stem post and top tube consistent with normal use, and comes backed by a 12-month warranty on the frame and 3 months on parts. For short urban journeys where portability and ease of storage are priorities, the C-Line 2 Speed remains a practical choice in the folding bike category.
