Brompton C Line M6L (6 Speed) – dynamo, excellent condition
This is a Brompton C Line M6L, a British-made steel folding bike in metallic graphite, equipped with six speeds and a dynamo hub for integrated lighting. The bike is in excellent condition, having spent most of its life in a dry, heated garage since purchase during lockdown. It's been barely ridden and kept well, so it reads as virtually new despite being owned for a few years.
The M6L uses Brompton's standard 16-inch wheel size and folds down to their signature compact footprint, making it straightforward to carry onto trains, store in a flat, or tuck under a desk at work. The steel frame is robust and feels substantial without being heavy for a folding bike. The six-speed hub gears handle urban hills comfortably and need minimal maintenance, with gear changes managed through a simple twist mechanism on the handlebar.
This particular bike comes with some thoughtful upgrades. The SP dynamo hub powers lights automatically as you ride, which is genuinely useful for commuting in winter or for anyone who cycles after dark regularly. The Brooks B17 short saddle is a genuine leather saddle that softens with use and suits upright riding positions well. Brooks leather handlebar grips add comfort and durability to daily use. The 44T chainring is fitted as standard, with the original 50T chainring included as a spare if you prefer different gearing. A Bontrager track pump is also included to keep tyres in good condition.
The bike uses side-pull caliper brakes, which are reliable and easy to service. The original receipt from Brompton Junction is available, which adds confidence to the condition and authenticity of the bike. This is a complete, ready-to-ride folding bike suited to commuters who value a robust British-made machine and won't need to spend anything on upgrades or new components before using it daily.
