The original go-anywhere folding bike meets the Tour de France.
Proudly handmade in London since 1975. C Line transforms from a go-anywhere vehicle to a small, locked package in under 20 seconds. Easy to lift, carry or store. You can take it on trains, tuck it in car boots or under restaurant tables. For fifty years, owners across the world have customised their trusty steel companions to suit their needs.
Today, C Line captures the same smile-inducing, go-anywhere feeling it always has, but it does better than ever. Lighter, more portable unstoppable. It does more than you think.
For five decades, the Brompton folding bike has been an indispensable tool for those who like to do things differently – transforming how people move in and around cities across the globe. Like us, the Tour de France does things its own way. What started as a visionary idea in 1903 is now the biggest race on earth. Billions of viewers follow teams of male and female riders over 30 days of racing – commitment, suffering, and sweet euphoria play out across fan-lined roads and mountains.
We might be from different ends of the cycling spectrum, but we’re united in our belief that bikes have the power to change everyone and anyone’s world.
Racing Alpe d’Huez or pedalling through the city, the sense of joy and possibility is shared. Once you know it, it never leaves you. We celebrate that feeling with this limited-edition Brompton C Line x Tour de France bike. For the riders. For the fans.
Interruptions during your ride are nobody's idea of fun, and that's where the Brompton Toolkit comes in. This compact, fully enclosed toolkit is your secret weapon for urban cycling, designed to keep your focus on the road ahead and ensure a smooth, uninterrupted journey.
Lightweight and packed with essential tools, the Brompton Toolkit is your go-to for puncture repairs and quick fixes, allowing you to get back on your way in no time. Inside, you'll find tire levers with 8mm and 10mm spanners, a 15mm spanner with a ratchet driver, pozi and flat screwdriver bits, puncture repair patches, sandpaper, and an array of hex bits in various sizes. Despite its comprehensive toolset, it weighs less than half a pound, proving that being prepared for anything doesn't have to weigh you down.
The Brompton folding bike is transformed into a moving canvas. The narrative of the tour designed into every element. Subverted race day photography from Pauline Ballet forms a print around the frame. At first glance it’s a pattern, but as you look again the fans and the riders reveal themselves. Flags flying high, the pack moving through – you can almost hear the noise.
Hand built in our London Factory using high-quality steel tubes, the Brompton x Tour de France C Line bike is finished with an innovative print technique to create an abstract photographic pattern. Special details pay homage to the world’s greatest cycling race– the iconic jersey colour paint, Leaders Yellow bar grips, and the Brompton logo in the unmistakable yellow Brompton.
Expertly engineered for everyday riding in the city and beyond, all the contact points between you and the bike and the bike and road deliver everyday comfort – ergonomic grips, super puncture-resistant Schwalbe Marathon tyres, and the Selle Royal saddle with a wider shape. The bike comes equipped with six gears and the award-winning Brompton Toolkit. Compact, portable and unstoppable. Available in limited numbers.
