Brompton bicycles

I've been riding a bicycle almost everyday until my crossbike broke down last month. To be honest, I was getting tired of bicycles that has huge tires that will often get in people's way. So I started to look for folding bicycles. However most of them were either affordable but low quality or expensive but the design is not my type. The most important thing I look at is design and quality, so there was a limited choices for me. This blog is about designs, so I'm going to introduce a bicycle that I have in my mind now.

Brompton Bicycle

Brompton bicycle is a customizable folding bicycle that is hand made with the company's original parts. Everything is hand made in London.








I fell in love with a design of this bicycle at first sight. Of course it is a folding bicycle so it can fit anywhere, but not just only that! The compactness when folded is amazing too, but the look of it when unfolded is stylish and has some kind of 'traditional' look. 

Also there are several colors you can pick for the frames. You can even order a duo tone colored bicycle!

There is no need to be worrying about theft and it might look like a part of your interior object.

People might think that these types of bicycle doesn't have all of the important parts or it might be slower than the regular bicycles. However these bicycles are called minivelo, and they are designed to be smaller but fast as the regular bicycles. It can have several level of gears, so it is worth to have them. The problem of these bicycles are the prices and possible extra fees when fixing a specific parts. Also these special bicycles can be repaired only at certain stores, so it might be tough to get a maintenance.
