Overview
The C Line 6-Speed is Brompton's hand-brazed steel frame folding bike, built in London, folding to a locked package in under 20 seconds and weighing 26.4 lbs with a 7-year frame warranty.
The price sits well above typical folding bikes, but owners consistently frame it as buying design engineering and build quality rather than just a bike.
