We have a number of the 2011 priced brompton M3L still available in black and a turkish green S2L model for £760, All the new 2012 models have gone up by £50!

Here at Picton Cycles we try to maintain at least ten Bromptons in stock,covering all the key models.We are happy to provide test rides by prior arrangement on these models.

All Bromptons are designed and built in West London, England. Brompton is one of only two major frame manufacturers still based in the UK, and we have been in full production since 1988.

M Type

The distinctive U-shape of the M Type's handlebars has been used on the Brompton since the outset: it gives a fairly upright ride with excellent control. The M Type is the all-rounder in our range and remains the most popular Brompton, as much at home in the city as on a country lane, and with plenty of room for luggage at the front.

The key M Type is the M3L (also available as M3L-X) - it is the classic Brompton, featuring Sturmey Archer's reliable 3-speed hub and all the fundamental advantages of the Brompton design.

S Type

For many, this is the prettiest Brompton, and it is the lightest. The grips are lower and further forward than on the M Type, giving a sporty riding position which complements the positive feel of these bikes.

The key S Type is the S2L (also available as S2L-X) - Brompton's derailleur system turns a single-speed into a nimble 2-speed bike without the weight of a gear hub; the result is a light bike that can handle most journeys.

P Type

The multiple positions afforded by the P Type's handlebars are designed with the touring cyclist in mind. Although they are a little heavier than the M Type's handlebars, the lower grips, angled for comfort on longer stretches of road, allow the rider to get down out of the wind and deliver real power to the pedals; the upper grips provide a welcome contrast after a long stretch of riding and also give great control for manoeuvring in traffic.

The key P Type is the P6R (also available as P6R-X) - a rear rack gives additional luggage-carrying capacity and the six well-spaced gears will handle almost all gradients encountered on a long ride.
