Brompton C Line Archive Edition 2023 - Folding Bike
Celebrating the making of the one-millionth Brompton rolling of the London factory floor, Brompton present special editions in some of their most iconic archive colours.
The original Brompton folding bike, this edition is designed around the original MK1 specification from 1975. With a robust steel frame, proudly handmade in London.

True to the original, the Archive Edition has a robust, handmade steel frame, as all C Lines continue to have today. The C Line Utility is Brompton’s 3-speed hub gear bike, a solid urban ride built for the streets.
