Brompton 2017 M6L folding bike - Stardust Black

Brompton Stardust Black M6L 2017 specification folding bike. Model M6L (M=handlebar type, 6=6 gears, L=with mudguards)

This 6 speed Brompton is just like the most popular M3L (3 speed model) but with 6 gears and a wider gear ratio makes hill climbing that bit easier.

Because the Brompton folds to such a small size means it is accepted on just about all public transport, can be stored under your desk when at work or in a small cupboard when at home.
