Brompton C Line 1975 Edition

The Gold Standard of Folding Bikes

The Brompton C Line 1975 Edition celebrates 50 years of British craftsmanship and design innovation. This limited-edition model pays tribute to the iconic folding bike’s rich heritage, with just 1,975 bikes made worldwide. Finished in a striking Thermal Fade lacquer inspired by the colours created during frame brazing, it stands as a symbol of the skill, dedication and precision that have defined Brompton since 1975.

Handmade in London, the C Line folds down into a compact, portable package in under 20 seconds, making it ideal for city travel, commuting or multi-modal journeys. The steel frame is meticulously hand-brazed by Brompton’s master craftsmen – each frame bearing a unique signature from its maker. Lighter, stronger and more versatile than ever, this bike carries forward five decades of innovation into the future.

This anniversary edition comes complete with exclusive accessories including a 1975 Edition Bottle Holder and a 1.5L Small Zip Case, both designed for on-the-go practicality. Every bike also includes one of 1,975 commemorative Brazer’s Coins, embossed with the initials of a Brompton brazer and designed to develop a unique patina over time, making each one a personal piece of Brompton history.
