Brompton C Line Explore 6-Speed

This is a Brompton C Line Explore, a British-made steel folding bike in coral orange, built for commuters who need something compact and reliable for daily use. The 16-inch wheels and lateral fold design make it genuinely portable—small enough to stash under a desk, on a train, or in a car boot without taking up serious space. At its core, it's a working bike designed around practicality rather than luxury, which is why so many people rely on Brompton for the commute.

The C Line Explore uses a steel frame with side-pull caliper brakes and hub gears—six speeds through the rear wheel, so no derailleur to fuss with or catch on things when the bike's folded. The owner has looked after it carefully since 2023, using it mainly for commuting rather than weekend rides, so the condition is clean and tidy throughout. The tyres are in good shape, the brakes work properly, and the frame itself is solid. It comes with the original Brompton pump, still in its box, and the frame warranty runs for another two years—that's part of Brompton's five-year guarantee from purchase, so there's peace of mind built in.

For anyone cycling the same short urban route most days, this is the kind of bike that just works. The six-speed hub gear handles gentle hills without fuss, and the fold becomes automatic after a few weeks. It's the machine you don't think about—you just fold it, go, and get where you're going. This particular example is priced at the listed amount, though sensible offers are welcome. It's available for collection locally, or can be posted via DPD next-day delivery at an additional cost.
