Brompton
London, UK
Bromptons fold small, but ride big.
10 seconds to fold. 10 seconds to unfold. No strings, magnets, straps, bungees or wishes.
No other bike has such a small footprint, unfolds to have the wheelbase of a full-sized bike, and last you more than a decade.
Bromptons are handmade in England. Workers have fair wages, a clean and safe work environment and can be individually proud of the bikes they make.
Bromptons are made to such exact tolerances and specifications that even with expired patent protection, no one has successfully copied the bike. Good luck.

Brompton was Ilya's very first phone call when he signed the lease for Redbeard Bikes in 2012!
Since then, we have sold Bromptons with more love and gusto than any dealer we've ever met.
Due to recent changes at Brompton, we no longer stock Bromptons, but we are happy to special order one. If you order on Brompton's USA website, you can choose to have the bike shipped to Redbeard Bikes (zip code: 11201). That earns us a bit of margin, plus you get to visit us!
Ilya and Kasia are currently sharing a P Line 4-speed, and look forward to adding a T line, or an electric P, to our personal fleet.
Brompton T Line
The highly-anticipated Brompton T Line — the lightest Brompton ever made! — is now available at Redbeard Bikes in limited quantities.
We are thrilled that Brompton has finally opened up distribution of the T Line to include indie bike shops such as Redbeard.
T Line comes in two variants:
(1) ONE: T Line in its purest form. 16.4lbs. A minimalist single speed machine. $5,225.
(2) URBAN: The ultimate 4-speed folding bike. 17.5lbs. Fine-tuned for city performance. Fenders and luggage system. $5,500.

Two ways to order:
