I was in London this week and have seen this exact Brompton version in the window of the Cheaney shop and thought: Wow that shop owner is one of Brompton nerd putting nice modifications on it. Now I know its a Brompton original! Very beautiful!
@@NoZenith I like my black parts, and I have given them a polish when I got my bike in 2019! And all the "Frame Covers/Protection" to find for all the bikes weak points, to avoid any scratches during use and folds (China has built an intire Industry from this need)!!!! That's why my Flame Painted, now 9 kilo Superlight bike, with mudguards - still looks like new, even after near 5 years of use😄! Finn. Denmark
@finncarlbomholtsrensen1188 mine is Black Raw Laquer H6R... so it's heavy 🙃 I put heavy duty box tape on my and didn't ride it enough to wear through any of it except where the frame hook goes on the rear triangle. I am currently shopping the "helicopter tape" options
FYI, the special levers are in fact much heavier than the normal black aluminum P-line ones, which possibly means that they are made fully of bronze as they officially state in the BxBxC website. specifications, and not bronze/brass-plated or anodized aluminum. Information found on FB post by a Japanese Brompton dealer Loro Tube who've actually put them on a scale to compare.
I think it’s beautiful too, a lovely shade of green and copper. I have the Brooks Special and dark tan continentals and copper accessories on my black ML6 with black titanium fork and rear triangle. If I didn’t I’d be tempted…love the return to the classic look…
Yeah a black fork and rear triangle on this will definitively look good…..I like the matte color too but not on this build I think…Surprised handlebar didn’t match the leather seat too…Brooks do have leather grips…also make it even special a brown leather mud flap.
@@meera6024 a copper handlebar color would be nice as you said also and keep the black grips instead…..Wonder what green best…this Brunswick green or the classic Racing green…been thinking to get my other frame powder coated green or Ivory for some time now but probably will be pushed for green now….and silver/chrome parts🤔
A lovely looking, understated, stylish bicycle. But is it not a collaboration of 4 makers? Brompton, Bremont, Cheaney and Brooks for the seat. And yes, wearing the shoes while cycling it would be very dapper indeed.
that's a lovely combination of dark green and "brass" hardware. I wish they kept the handle bars and seat posts raw as well rather than painting in black
I like this, although the Bremont connection leaves me cold. If it was Brompton, Cheaney and Roger Smith I'd be far more excited. As an aside, my LBS fitted a 40 tooth Sturmey Archer chainset to drop the gearing on my 2009 P Line 6 speed. It makes a huge difference on the local hills but without diluting the higher gears too much. It looks amazing too! I'm looking forward to taking a 12 speed for a spin soon...
Oh also i did some digging and saw a Japanese fellow who weighed the bronze bits - they were heavier than the equivalent black clamps etc. will update once i find the post again. I don’t have a weighing scale that could confirm this. But by hand 🤚 there seems to be a difference in weight.
Subjective - there are so many - some say they are stiffer - depending on type - some say there’s no difference and some say it’s worse. I have seen quite a few not very well made suspension blocks - spring coil types - that actually deform. Best to stick to Brompton parts that have not only passed Euro codes but US ones as well. My .02 cents worth. But it’s your coin at the end of the day. 😊
The 12 speed is a new hub made specifically for Brompton which is lighter and has a wider ratio than the BWR Also …. That was a bit of plastic swarf from the seat sleeve insert ! (Now brushed off and not noticed until the video!)
Er, I absolutely love the colour which is nearly the same green as the original Barbour limited edition however I'm struggling to understand what exactly Bremont is bringing to the party
Where do we start = if it’s good enough for Julie Andrew’s from the sound of music = At the very beginning = how much is it ? Hope it’s a reasonable price don’t want to be brassed off or even anodised off pretty sure one of those would ring a bell a loud one obviously , would of been nice to have the price of belt and shoes but maybe I’m just too demanding or logical the choice is yours, actually with the weather at the moment with all this global warming having October in June = more appropriate would be brass monkey weather , we all know there’s only one song that fits = Beastie Boys = Brass Monkey , I know you will say thanks for watching = always a pleasure never a chore.
@@brilliantbikes I love Bromptons so much. Have had 3 Bromptons already, in almost 30 years. I would like to go light, the T-line, but have doubts about the number of gears, I’m used to 6 speed and now electric.. so I’m afraid I can’t peddle up hilly area’s with the 4 speed.. but 12 is almost a kilo heavier. You’ve done nice video’s about gears.. did you try the 12-speed at-line?..
Thanks for watching It is available as an aftermarket option - but only if you have the integrated shifters brilliantbikes.co.uk/brompton-sundry-parts/5831-brompton-integrated-bell-brass.html
Thanks for watching Yes the Brompton Bremont Cheaney bike is the first "special" edition - though there was a 12 speed Pop Lilac seasonal colour (where just the colour was changed but everything else was standard)
