Welcome to the fold!

A community for all Bromptonites of the Fediverse!

The Brompton is a folding bicycle which is known for its unique design and compact folded size. The 3-part fold transforms the bike into an incredibly small locked package in no time.

Made in London, UK - loved all over the world. <3

I'm picking up a C Line Explore and wondering why there's a weight difference between these two. I'm interested in the free bag but I assume there are structural differences if the one above is a KG lighter?

Might be the included bag, different saddle and S handle bar not being an option with the lower. Probably the latter since it's "from" and handle bar is about the only thing you can customise at checkout.

Also: Since when does the Explore no longer come with dynamo light and luggage rack? Those are quite important features for me, so I'd recommend spending a few more minutes and a few hundred quid into getting them.

Aaaah the handlebar makes sense. Food for thought on the light and luggage rack, thanks. I was going to forgo the luggage rack and upgrade the wheels for now. And use my existing rechargeable lights.
