Brompton Bicycle

Now in its fully updated 4th edition for 2024, Brompton Bicycle remains the definitive guide to one of the world’s most ingenious and beloved folding bikes. This expanded edition tells the fascinating story behind the Brompton, charts its evolution, and explores why this uniquely British design has become a global icon.

Alongside the history, the book offers practical, hands‑on advice for every Brompton owner. You’ll find detailed guidance on modifying and converting your bike for child‑carrying, touring and everyday utility, plus a wealth of maintenance and repair tips you won’t find in any standard bike‑repair manual. Whether you’re a commuter, tinkerer or long‑distance tourer, it’s everything you need to get the most from this remarkable machine.

The first edition was a hit with Brompton enthusiasts, but this new 248‑page update goes even further. It includes in‑depth coverage of the super‑lightweight T‑Line — arguably the world’s lightest production folding bike — along with insights into new products, company developments, and where Brompton may be heading next.

Comprehensive, practical and packed with insider knowledge, this is the essential companion for anyone who rides, loves or simply admires the Brompton.
