Brompton Bicycles Australia
Australia
Приєднався 12 лип 2015
We’re Brompton Australia, the official distributors of Brompton Bicycles for Australia & New Zealand.
You probably know a little about us already, but here's a little more background;
The Brompton folding bike was designed & first built in London in 1975 by Andrew Ritchie in his flat opposite the Brompton Oratory. Today, Brompton is the UK’s largest bike manufacturer & Australia is a big of this story of phenomenal global growth.
Bromptons increase people’s freedom - this concept is at the heart of everything we do.
Because the Brompton can be folded & taken with you, you can do hybrid commutes - mixing train & car rides -even air travel. There's less chance of theft, & the Brompton is easy to store at work & home.
Each Brompton frame is hand brazed at our factory by a brazier trained for 18 months. We don't default to off-the-shelf products on our cycles, instead, we implement the optimal solution & this usually means a bespoke component.

How to fold & unfold your Brompton | With tips on folding the pedal & locking the frame in place
The are hundreds of videos out there about how to fold a Brompton cycle, but few answer all of the nitty gritty questions like 'why my pedal is so tricky to fold up'.
This our attempt to explain all the nooks and crannies you encounter on your fold whilst simplifying the process so you can master it in no time.
Elliot, our resident Canadian at Brompton Australia, goes through the 5 steps:
1. Fold the back wheel under the frame
2. Fold the frame in half
3. Fold down the handlebars
4. Lock the seat post down
5. Fold the pedal
The devil is in the details. Leave feedback in comments to tell us what you think of our fold video.

This route passed through Williamtown's Greenwich Reserve - where Elliot busted ou...

Brompton has discovered some very like-minded partners in Freitag and Birkenstock, so with a little love from Keoma, we helped set up some window displays to showcase all our wares.

Kicking off from Artificer Coffee the ride swung by Omafiets, Gelato Messina, and The Provider Store, before finishing up at York Lane Bar for well earned refreshments and the final card.

Cycling Central | Brompton CEO Will Butler-Adams on Aussie TV!
Переглядів 3,1 тис.9 років тому
The Brompton Big Cheese on Aussie TV! Way back in 2015 Will made this appearance on SBS. It's a neat little history of Brompton as well as a look at some earlier Brompton World Championships. And, no - Will did not invent the Brompton as is stated in the intro - the inventor of the Brompton is, of course, Andrew Ritchie. #Brompton #foldingbike #Cycling
I've carried a Montague, converted to e power, in my small plane for years, and recently got a Brompton also. The Montague is great for big rides, as it has a big motor, big battery, and a Rohloff hub, but it's overkill for a lot of my needs. It's always fun to wow other pilots with how fast I can get the Montague out after landing (2.5-3 minutes) the Brompton will wow even more!
Hi Alasdair, I love your posture for a tall person (judging from the above video to be at least 1.75m) riding a straight handlebar Brompton. Would appreciate if you can share how did you set up your saddle height and saddle position to achieve that. I did not see the common hunch for a tall person ridding the straight handlebar in you. Thanks!!
Hi - this is not Alasdair but the Brompton Aus Team. From memory and rechecking the images, the bike is mostly standard save for an extended seat post and some Ergon grips. The saddle set up is probably the most important part of getting comfy on the bike, if the saddle is too far forward or back it can really affect the posture on the bike. Hope this helps.
@@bromptonaustralia Hi there, thanks for the advice!!

Thank you for not begging.
Is it still for sales? The Freitag bag for Brompton
The Brompton Freitag bag was a limited run, but some stores still have a few in stock. You should try the Brompton Junction Melbourne store.
Thank you for the good explanation.
There's a lot of cool stuff here. I hope such a cool store opens in Korea as well.
Thank you for clear summary.
Everything in this video is beautiful
Is there a Sydney group ride anywhere?
We do have Sydney groups Rachel. Here's a Sydney ride from a couple of years ago: ua-cam.com/video/iUeRJJaCUTQ/v-deo.html I'll see if I can find a contact person for you...
Cool Civic Aerodeck!
Go Brompton ❤
Best bike I’ve ever owned, rapidly became my daily commuter, weekend leisure ride and long distance tourer. 🤗
Here in my country, a coffee shop employee refused to let me bring my folded bike in. He asked me to leave it outside the shop, where a busy bus stop is located right in front of the shop.
Never had an issue here in Australia. It's gonna be case-by-case but I'm surprised to hear this. What country are you in?
@@bromptonaustraliaI had the same problem here in Italy at the post office. Tho I should also say that this post office is known to be bad, It has 1,5 stars out of 5 on Google, everyone here hates being there😅
@@francogiaretta9286 😂
How tall is that little lady? Asking because I’m only 5 feet and wonder if I can ride a Brompton. Thanks!
You'll have no probs at 5 feet. Make sure to test the handlebar config before you buy though.
Beautiful city & street
I like your Honda.
4:42 What I love about my Brompton is that my wife doesn’t even know I have a Brompton.
🤣
I love Melbourne
and Brompton
Looks great! We also have similar events in Taiwan every week,
That larger handlebar is a nice upgrade
Hi! Will you pls share what is the name, size of your front bag and where to buy it? Tysm
Hi @CrazyLittleBikeGirl Elliot's bag is a Freitag Coltrane like the ones featured in this video ua-cam.com/video/SNTLxIF9h5Q/v-deo.html Each is uniquely coloured as they're made from recycled truck tarps.
What are you shooting the rides with?
I'm using a couple of GoPros - one fixed, one on an arm - and a Fujifilm DSLR on a stabilizer. And I'm riding facing backwards on an electric bike. Have to have trust in the pedal person - Martin.
@@bromptonaustralia The bike you're riding facing backwards must not be a Brompton though ;)
@@BikeStuffPDX Martin would have a hernia doubling me on a Brompton! Think it was a Tern electric.
@@bromptonaustralia I actually ride on a Tern myself, but now I also have a solution for shooting backwards that could work with a Brompton too.
@@BikeStuffPDX I'd love to hear your on- Brompton shooting techniques. The reason we have two on a bike if so that we can pan, do zooms and have a bit more framing control -but depending on the event, we can't always shoot this way.
I missed you guys, I flew from Bangkok to Melbourne in July and wanted so much to bring my Brompton, but decided not to in the end, I can't tell you how much I missed my M6R. Next time I want to join you on a ride if I can. ps. I love your handlebar, actually been looking for something like it, can you tell me the brand & model?
Elliot told me that he uses an S-bar with modded mountain bike handlebars. Don't know the brand, I'm afraid.
Great video, relaxing story. How did you do the filming? Did someone use a drone, or how could you capture video from front of riders? Riding backwards while holding camera 🎥 sounds difficult 😊. Stabilisation works great, are you using gimbal or some new GoPro (mine is Hero 5, it gives quite shaky results). Regards: Cycling Finn
Yes - riding backwards holding a stabilised camera... the backwards camera person (me) was a passenger on an electric bike. I edited me and Martin (the rider) out but you can see the bike parked in the bg at the Swedish bakery
What accent at 1:31? Yorkshire?
You might be right...
Such a beautiful place to ride!!
If you guys ever make it out to Aus have to send a shout out as would go for a ride with you guys
Sydney is great for cycling your Brampton. ua-cam.com/video/ZEz2xp1PCCQ/v-deo.html
Just bought my first Brompton here in Canada. I rode with Elliot when he lived here and worked at the LBS. Great to see your videos and love the Brompton lifestyle. Mark.
Love this. More of these lifestyle videos please!
What’s your helmet brand??
Elliot is wearing a Giro Radix mountain bike helmet
Love it!!!
Question, is ur Bike H bar with mini M handlebar?
Hi - If you mean Elliot's bike (racing green) he has an S bar with modified mountain bike handlebars. He does all sorts of crazy mods with his shed full of cycles and parts ;-)
Hello my friend, is really a good bike???? A eternal bike??? Respect and love from Chile
The Brompton will definitely outlive most bikes. Take a test ride - sure you must see Bromptons in Chile!
Will Butler-Adams is the MD, not the "brainchild". Andrew Ritchie invented it.
Duly noted in the description Lee. It's hard to wrangle TV People...
Why are you ripping intact posters when you could purchase new from the advertising companies.
Have another look at the video KJM. Jane uses the remnants and scraps as 'found art' inspiration for her collage projects.
Agreed. Not cool to just go around damaging posters - even if you are turning them into a collage
What level are you using. Like the helmet
Hi David - from memory Jane was using assist level 3 on the steep hills and 1 on the streets. And, yes, the Kask helmets as comfortable as they are cool looking.
My Brompton is one of the few things that brings me happiness even in this pandemic. Feeling of safe and free. I love mine.
Cheers! 🍺
