Brompton C Line 6 Speed 2023 High Handlebar Folding Bike - Ocean Blue

The Brompton C Line 6 Speed is a British-made folding bike designed for daily urban cycling and commuting. Built around a steel frame, it uses Brompton's distinctive lateral fold to collapse into a compact package that fits easily under a desk, into a train luggage rack, or the boot of a car. The 16-inch wheels and tight wheelbase make it nimble through city traffic and contribute to just how small the folded package becomes.

This 2023 model comes in cloud blue and is fitted with 6-speed hub gears, which gives you reasonable range for tackling moderate hills without needing to maintain a derailleur system. The side-pull caliper brakes are straightforward and reliable, and the high handlebar position keeps you upright for visibility in urban riding. The bike arrives with Brompton's Metro Bag fitted to the front, so you can clip it on and carry the folded bike easily once you've done the fold, which becomes instinctive after a few goes.

Day to day, the C Line works well for the stop-start pace of city cycling. The geometry suits short journeys and regular fold-and-carry use, making it ideal for commuters who combine cycling with buses, trains, or car journeys. This particular example is in almost-new condition and barely used, so you're getting a bike that's had minimal wear.
