Andrew Ritchie, a brilliant young inventor, put pen to paper and sketched the original Brompton folding bike, calling it the ‘bike of the future.’ It was a radical departure from bicycles of the day – the first in a line of iconic designs which, today, represent the gold standard in folding bicycles.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEach detail tells a chapter of Brompton's story. The Thermal Fade finish evokes the brazing process used by their team to produce bikes that last a lifetime. Each bike comes with one of 1,975 collectible ‘Brazer’s Coin’ as a tribute to their team’s talent and dedication. And, of course, there’s 50th anniversary gold wherever you look because this is a moment to celebrate!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tall-image-title-tiles__text br-rte\" data-v-a8057a7e=\"\"\u003eSpecial 1975 Edition Serial Plate!

There are 52 expert brazers in Brompton's London Factory, handmaking every single Brompton. They are proud of what they do, and that’s why each bike is marked by its maker. Each brass coin is embossed with one of their brazer’s initials.
