"Time is Of The Essence" - 15 To 20 Seconds Until Riding Or Storing. Key to the well-engineered British built Brompton folding bike is its quick-and-simple fold up or fold down time. The Brompton fold up bike frame moves together in a 4-stage operation...yet remains standing secure throughout each stage, which is a strong "convenience" factor that time-sensitive commuter bike owners recognize.

Overall dimensions vary by model, but the Brampton collapsible bike "full folded" and ready for taking on board a train, bus or plane or storing in your work closet measures around 22" X 22" X 10". Pack your Brompton in a folding bike case for clean, compact storage at home or at work.
Easy Work Gearing Options. The Brampton foldable bike keeps prices down by simplifying model options into either a 3-speed or 6-speed option. The collapsible bike frame, set upon the curved main tube and small 16 inch wheels, standard issue mudguards and a main tube frame hinge. The Brampton collapsible bicycle sports a relatively narrow frame drop out ... creates a thin easy-to-store profile ... but, limits the range of after-market accessories such as hub assemblies that can fit the tight spacing.

Commuter Bike Accessories To Know About. Standard issue Brompton mud guards keep most of the muck off your pants so you'll board the connecting train or enter your office looking "civilized".
* Titanium Rear Fork. Weight lowering optional titanium rear fork can be optioned along with either the 3-speed or 6-speed hub derailleur assembly.
* Titanium Pedals. Add a few dollars to your purchase price and you'll get lighter titanium pedals which also reduce the curb profile by almost 4 inches.
* Tall Big Riders Choose The Telescoping Seat Post. The efficient pedal rate for the best commuter bicycles is fast rather than slow, in order to be more efficient and to avoid injury and stress. A rider's seating position, and fit with the bike, is key to comfort riding. Tall or heavy riders will prefer the telescoping seat post in order to create the right leg extension, which should be just short of fully extended.
* Folding Bike Bag . When you arrive at work, you'll need to remove saddle bags in order to start the 4-position fold up bike routine with your Brompton. Your Brompton can stow away inside a custom designed folding bike case, plus a 2-wheel accessory allows you to drag your fold bike to wherever you're going.
