Brompton C Line 1975 Edition M 12-Speed Limited Edition Folding Bike - Thermal Fade Lacquer

Brompton C Line 1975 Edition

London, 1975. Andrew Ritchie, a brilliant young inventor, put pen to paper and sketched our original folding bike, calling it the ‘bike of the future.’ It was a radical departure from bicycles of the day – the first in a line of iconic designs which, today, represent the gold standard in folding bicycles.

The 1975 Edition is a tribute to 50 years of innovation, excellence, and the people who make it possible. 

Each detail tells a chapter of our story. The Thermal Fade finish evokes the brazing process used by our team to produce bikes that last a lifetime. Each bike comes with one of 1,975 collectible ‘Brazer’s Coins’ as a tribute to our team’s talent and dedication. And, of course, there’s 50th anniversary gold wherever you look because this is a moment to celebrate!

The Original Folding Bike
C Line is the original steel folding bike built for the city. Proudly handmade in London since 1975. It transforms from a go-anywhere vehicle to a small, locked package in under 20 seconds. Easy to lift, carry or store. You can take it on trains, tuck it in car boots or under restaurant tables. Add luggage, run a rack, and even store a toolkit inside the frame.

New 12-speed System
The latest development is the C Line 12-speed, brought in to accompany the 2 and 6-speed options. First seen on the P Line model, Brompton's unique 12-speed system is an expertly engineered solution that gives riders more gears and more range. It takes portability of Brompton’s classic bike to a whole new level, thanks to an Advance Rear Frame which allows owners to glide and steer their folded bikes through railway stations and entrance foyers with the seat post locked halfway up.
