Brompton 2017 P6R Raw Lacquer folding bicycle with Brooks Saddle

2017 raw lacquer Brompton folding bike model P6R (P=Multi position/touring handlebar type, 6=6 gears, R=with mudguards and rack). This bike has reduced gearing making hill climbing easier and a Brooks leather saddle.

The P-type (multi-position) handlebar is actually the least common (that we see), but allows you to vary your handlebar grip / ride position - making it ideal for touring and spending hours in the saddle.

The raw lacquer colour on this Brompton shows off the bike builders craft.

And like all Bromptons, because it folds up (or should that be worn) to such a small size means it is accepted on just about all public transport, can be stored in your hotel room or taken on a bus when travelling the world.
