This is the classic pre-P Line Superlight configuration: \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eS-type flat handlebars, 2-speed gearing, steel main frame, and lighter titanium fork and rear triangle\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eI’ve owned and ridden this bike for years. I originally bought it for commuting around London, which I no longer need to do, and it has been a brilliant city bike: surprisingly fast, responsive, and genuinely fun to ride.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe flat bars give it a more direct feel than a typical upright Brompton, and the simple 2-speed setup really comes alive in the city. For me, that is the sweet spot for this bike. It is light, quick off the mark, easy to fold, easy to carry, and just about perfect for trains, offices, stairs and urban commutes. Hills are manageable if you ride regularly, though the 2-speed setup may be a bit challenging for less frequent cyclists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis is not a modern T Line, but an earlier and sought-after \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSuperlight \/ X model\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e, from the period when Brompton’s premium lightweight bikes used titanium extremities with the traditional steel main frame.
