Brompton Advice

[Pale Rider]

I was thinking grey with lime green forks

Pah, it will look like a corporation bus.

No that would be Blue with Red forks in Accrington lol

Go into a stockist and see if they have one in last years colour - it may come with extras eg a bike bag helmet etc. which they may set against their profit margin in order to clear the old stock.
Do not - repeat do not attempt this on the phone - face to face is best. Brompton do not seem to allow discount but some dealers will ‘lubricate a deal with freebies’

 

[Nibor]

Not much movement for freebies unless I consider buying the lightweight one lol. Colours seem to carry from year to year. I think I will be ordering a bespoke one as I want the -18% on the gearing as I live in Hilly west lancs.

I went for Lime Green.... I think it’s a fun bike and a fun colour suits it.... it’s also easier to spot if someone tries to wheel it away!

 

[Nibor]

now thinking this is going to be a bike I keep for a long time so I may well go for BRG with Black forks and rear triangle

 

[Raistlin]

I have the grey with lime green forks and it looks the dogs - I wanted lighter colours for the winter and love it. I also went with the son dynamo and love it as I always have lights with me.

Ivory has an under-stated elegance.

Contrasts well with most other colours if you want to go down that route.

Saw an ivory and black one very classy

Love it. And it’s in my club colours. I do like Bromptons, but from a design perspective, I have always thought those H bars look cheap and flimsy. Obviously they can’t be or they wouldn’t have them. Thumbs up.

Thanks this is for reference only I am getting it in the M6L configuration

 

[Nibor]

She has arrived

 

[Banjo]

That looks great. I would have picked those colours but don't think they were available at the time. I love riding mine, Im sure you will enjoy yours.

 

[Crankarm]

They look better without the rear rack plus reduces weight.

IMHO too many things look cheap for a one grand bike. The Brompton "sticker" for one and the fact that they still haven't been able to route the cables through the frame like Dahons and Terns. Can't deny their popularity though.

Nice colour choice.
