Brompton C Line Mid Explore folding bike - Black - with rack

Black Brompton folding bike previously known as model M6R (M=classic Brompton handlebar type, 6=6 gears, R=with rack and mudguards)

The 6 speed Brompton has (for us at least) rapidly become the the most popular model. With 6 gears in a wide gear ratio, hill climbing is just that bit easier
