Brompton S2L Folding Bike – 2016 – Black Edition – 2 Speed

This is a 2016 Brompton S2L, a British-made steel folding bike in black, fitted with a 2-speed hub gear system. It's the sort of bike that folds down small enough to carry onto a train or stash under your desk, making it genuinely useful for commuters who need to mix cycling with other transport. The 16-inch wheels and compact steel frame are typical of Brompton's approach to urban riding—nimble in traffic and easy to manoeuvre once folded.

The bike has been modified to shed weight compared to a standard S2L. The centre pole, seat, and pedals have all been swapped for lighter alternatives, which makes a real difference when you're carrying it up stairs or onto a bus. All the original components are included with the sale—the stock centre columns, cushioned seat, and original pedals—so you can easily revert everything back to standard specification if you prefer. Nothing is locked in permanently.

Everything's been serviced recently at Evans Cycles, so it's ready to ride without any work needed. The package includes the Brompton black satchel for carrying the folded bike, a Brompton pump, and those original parts mentioned above. The caliper brakes are straightforward side-pull units, and the hub gears mean there's no derailleur to worry about—just a simple, low-maintenance drivetrain suited to everyday urban use. Collection only, based in Essex.
