{"product_id":"brompton-t-line-12-spd","title":"Brompton T Line  12 Spd","description":"\u003cbr\u003eWhen I purchase a new bike  I usually try to ensure that I get the best possible quality one that fits my needs without looking at the cost until later which historically has definitely been to the detriment of my credit cards!\u003cdiv\u003eThis is one of those.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eIts a Brompton  12spd T line with a fully integrated Son dynamo lighting kit installed by the suppliers (Cycle Heaven, York) before it was collected and also the inclusion of a rear rack. It also has a telescopic seat post.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eIt was delivered to me in April 2025 and I have retained the original spec sheet and  receipt detailing the additionals fitted by Cycle Heaven.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eThe final cost was  £5486.96. \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eWhoever does purchase it will receive the original bill and spec sheet made out to me from Cycle Heaven showing the additionals alluded to here. I have registered it to me on the Brompton website and I presume it will be possible to transfer ownership to whoever purchases it form me.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdditionally after collection I fitted Schwalbe Marathon tyres and heavier duty tubes injected with a liquid puncture sealant rather than stick with the  lighter weight originals which no doubt are included in an effort to produce a very light weight fast running setup. I also swapped the very light original  carbon railed Brompton seat for an Ergon saddle which I know suits me. It's still remarkably light for a 12 spd folder with on board lighting but now with tyres that were designed to resist punctures more comprehensively through everything that an English winter could throw at it than the previous setup. \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eI spec'd the best integrated lighting kit (Son Dynamo and f\/r lighting) available from my experience of long distance cycle touring and  because as a long term  Brompton rider I wanted this bike to be able to be used whenever at all times of the year without worrying about having battery lighting with me and stopping to fit them etc.  I was fine re the weight penalty because the titanium frame saves quite a bit anyway so its was swings and roundabouts really.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eThis became my favourite amongst the Bromptons I own or have owned  and the others were not getting much use as a result. \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eI had no intention of selling it but unfortunately I have a developing health issue which means that riding something like this has become very difficult for me now. As a result I stopped riding this bike and actually any of my bikes about 8 months ago but despite not riding it anymore I will certainly be sad to see it go.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eIt's had relatively  little use, has no damage (check out the photos) and currently lives full time indoors as an expensive piece of garage furniture without ever seeing the light of day now other than for the photos you see here. If it could speak I'm guessing it would be asking what it's done to deserve this so I have decided that  now is the time to pass it onto a new owner who hopefully will  once more use it on a regular basis. \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eIf you are interested then I would  suggest that you check out the T line on the Brompton website and then have a look at mine. As far as I'm aware nothing fundamentally has changed in terms of the bike itself except for the additions I have mentioned here. Let me know if it has.  \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eThe original build items I swapped out for alternative kit that made it particularly 'mine'  I have retained and whoever decides to buy it is welcome to have those included with the purchase.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eIn terms of getting the bike to whoever decides to purchase it then to be quite honest collection from my house would be my preferred option. That way it could be checked over by the buyer and accepted or otherwise. This isn't always practical of course and I have  a Brompton cardboard box for posting if that is the better way to get it to whoever. \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eUltimately I don't mind as long as the recipient is happy with it once received and if not then I'm fine to take it back. I do however have a reasonable record as a seller on eBay so I would hope that scenario doesn't occur.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eIf you have any questions then fire away and I will do my best to reply asap.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThanks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Brompton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":65163661672825,"sku":null,"price":4086.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/9640\/3321\/files\/s-l1600_9013ac91-7359-45bf-a145-366fe1ffc0c0.jpg?v=1794249358","url":"https:\/\/www.foldingbikes4u.co.uk\/products\/brompton-t-line-12-spd","provider":"Folding Bikes 4U","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
