Believe it or not, Brompton has been crafting its iconic folding bikes for 50 years, and to celebrate the milestone, the brand is releasing a special 1975 Edition version.<\/p>\n

As Brompton’s CEO Will Butler-Adams puts it, the new bicycle is a “thank-you” to the company’s “makers and dreamers.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This limited-run bike, with only 1,975 units available worldwide, is a nod to the company’s past, particularly to the skilled workers who have been handcrafting every frame at the London factory since its inception.<\/p>\n

The bike’s design centres on the art of brazing, a process that creates a strong and durable bond in the steel frame.<\/p>\n

One of the many unique features of the Brompton 1975 Edition is the Thermal Fade lacquer frame, inspired by the vibrant colours that appear during the brazing process, giving it a distinct and stylish look.<\/p>\n

Each bike comes with a collectable Brompton Brazer’s Coin, embossed with the initials of one of the 52 expert brazers from the London factory, further reinforcing the unique nature of the bikes.<\/p>\n

But wait, there is more! The two-wheeler also features a special bottle holder that attaches to the handlebars, allowing the bike to be folded with a bottle still in place.<\/p>\n

Even the saddle is one-of-a-kind: a lighter, premium variety with a carbon base and Chromoly rails, featuring an integrated carry handle.<\/p>\n

Finally, no limited edition Brompton would be complete without a numbered serial plate, marked with a laser-etched serial number and 50th-anniversary branding.<\/p>\n

To celebrate the launch, the company is kicking off a series of special Brompton 50 worldwide community ride-outs over the next year.<\/p>\n

The 1975 Edition is available from September 17 at Brompton<\/a>, in-store, and at selected Brompton Accredited Retailers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Believe it or not, Brompton has been crafting its iconic folding bikes for 50 years, and to celebrate…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":116404,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[445],"tags":[49,48,635,82],"class_list":["post-116403","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cycling","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-cycling","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116403","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116403"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116403\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/116404"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116403"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116403"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116403"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
