Brompton Folding Bike

This is a Brompton C Line folding bike in Flame Lacquer, a British-made steel frame design built for commuters and urban riders who need genuine portability. The C Line sits at the mid-range of Brompton's range, using the brand's signature lateral fold to compress into a compact package that fits under desks, into train luggage racks, or alongside you on buses. The steel frame is robust and built to last, a deliberate choice by Brompton over lighter materials because steel handles the repeated fold-and-carry cycle reliably over years.

The 16-inch wheels keep the folded size minimal and make the bike responsive in city traffic, though they do feel less effortless on longer flat runs than larger wheels would. The mid-position handlebars strike a balance between the upright geometry of the B Line and the sportier reach of the H Line, giving decent visibility in traffic without straining your back on short urban commutes. Hub gears via a shift mechanism on the frame mean minimal maintenance and no exposed derailleurs to snag or adjust, which matters when you're folding and unfolding regularly. Caliper brakes are simple, reliable, and easy to service yourself.

The condition here is excellent—stored indoors only, no scratches or dents, working perfectly. It comes with original paperwork and accessories, and was purchased from Tredz Swansea, so you have a full service history trail. This particular bike is ready to use as-is for anyone looking to skip the hunt through second-hand listings and go straight to riding. It suits commuters who mix cycling with trains or buses, or anyone in a flat with limited storage who still wants a proper steel bike rather than a lightweight compromise.
