You cannot begin to imagine how tempted I am.

Just the thing to be seen outside borough market on.

The most stylish could also be described as the least ugly. I associate Brompton with functional, not stylish.

When it comes to engineeing, functionality enhances beauty for me. The sort of bikes most people drool over - all cut-down handlebars which make steering difficult, shiny chrome which will last a couple of weeks in the rain and designed for an arse-in-the-air position - look horrible to me.

Wow stylish and brompton in the same sentence. They may 'do the job' but they are fugly.

well other than being green, what is special about it?

I like the clear lacquer one where you can see the bronze of the brazing - but would also like it with an Affline, or as we're window shopping, a Rohloff conversion.

Recently bought an older more ordinary model - and I must say the componentry is on the cheap side

But that's fake, it's bronze paint.

Who knew that a day would come upon which the companies Brooks and Brompton would suffer the word "colourway" to be used in describing their products.

O tempora, O mores.

Sadly not. Although there is some rather lovely rainwear, a pair of handlebar grips which Brompton really should have used, and my personal favourite - a stylish and practical briefcase.

Now. About this Brooks Brompton. Fantastic photos, @bikegang, but I can't get close enough to see the price tag. I also notice with disappointment that there is no front luggage block (+£15), no Marathon pluses (+£30) and no Easy wheels.

The bike's a nice colour. Shame about the saddle, so I'll pass on that.

I like the shiny bell I'm not a fan of that colour so I'll be leaving those limited edition ones for others to buy. Might treat myself to a Brompton buff though. I can layer it with my Cyclechat one.
