Brompton Bicycle - T Line
After many years, copies and rumours, Brompton have released a titanium main framed bike!
"T Line. This is Brompton. Reinvented.
We reinvented every millimetre of the Brompton to create our lightest bike ever.
Made between Sheffield and London by a select team of our best designers, engineers and fabrication specialists, T Line is all-new and ultra-light, for the ultimate freedom in the city and beyond.
The product of three years of limitless thinking, research and development, T Line is greater than the sum of its parts.
To bring Brompton's classic lines to life in titanium, we forged entirely new construction techniques. Designed and made every component from scratch. And we built a new factory to do it all in.
This is innovation in action."
