Brompton Folding Bike C Line 12 Speed 2026

This is a Brompton C Line folding bike in black, a 2026 model with 12-speed gearing that's been barely used. Brompton's folding bikes are British-made steel machines designed for urban commuters and anyone who needs to combine cycling with public transport. The compact fold is the main draw here—the bike reduces down to a package small enough to stash under a desk, in a train luggage rack, or in a car boot, which makes it genuinely practical for mixed-mode journeys where you can't leave it locked outside all day.

The frame is steel, which gives the Brompton its characteristic solid feel and durability, though it does mean the weight is noticeable when carrying it up stairs. The 16-inch wheels are standard for the brand and keep the folded dimensions tight, making the bike easy to manoeuvre when packed away. The 12-speed hub gear setup uses an internal derailleur, so there's minimal maintenance compared to a conventional chain-and-sprocket system, and the gears shift smoothly without needing constant adjustments. Caliper brakes handle the stopping duties—simple, reliable, and easy to maintain. The bike has been used twice and is essentially brand new, so there's negligible wear on the drivetrain or components. Collection only from Brighton and Hove.
