Has anybody had any issues getting the 10% British Cycling discount off a Brompton at Cycle Republic? Considering one for part commute
Cheers :smile:

It says on the BC website 10% off everything and couldn’t see anywhere that Bromptons are excluded.

Halfords do the CUK discount on Bromptons and it’s the same parent retailer group/similar discount scheme.

I've just got a B75 (Brompton No4) and couldn't get discount anywhere.
Even with BC membership at Halfords/CR?

Went to Twickenham CR earlier but was chaotic and short staffed so not able to ask (but as above there’s no mention of not being able to in the Ts&Cs on the BC site)

Otherwise very helpful chap at Purley CR says his area manager allows no discounts on Brompton (as Brompton discourage discounts). As there’s nothing to suggest this on the BC site, I’ve emailed them

Ok. Seems he was right. On the actual voucher it states discount not on Brompton bikes :sad:

Same with Halfords discount codes, they usually say doesn't apply to Bromptons.
Brompton dont like it up em.
I have found an M bar reduced at a local folder specialist shop...but I want the S bar so will need to suck up the extra cost

Being impulsive, I've secured a new M6L for £990 (about £90 off other places with stock). Localish LBS rather than chain too which is preferred :okay:

After your titanic titanium hunt, I would say you are anything but impulsive.
Ah yes but I only decided to look at Bromptons last week after new work contract confirmed (partially based in London, 20 minutes tube + walk or 20 minute leisurely Brompton pedal) :biggrin:

Rather less £ outlay than the Ti and more accessible locally
