I fell asleep last night, smugly celebrating my future, savvy, value priced purchase of the Brompton B75. Snoozing in a REM state, I had a nightmarish vision of palpable terror. Rounding a corner on my B75 in NYC, I heard from across the street , a mixed crowd yell in unison outside of a Soup Kitchen with fingers pointing......" Look, a Brommie B75 in Peasant Blue. He's struggling just like us all!".😁
@@brilliantbikes Brompton's are a classic of form, function, beauty, and charm just like you. I am glad I gave you a token chuckle, and that you have a great sense of humor, and didn't delete my post or misread "peasant blue" (sic) , as Pheasant blue, Cornflower blue, or any other shade not as lovely as your eyes and Brit accent ,but I digress being from across the pond. ;) May I wish you and your staff- ( ...and nanny.

You all have so much to be proud of in creating such informative and uniformly superb Brompton videos. Cheers, phil
The b75 i bought 2 weeks ago from bb was my 4th one too, along with 2017 raw laquer rack H6l titanium, 2021 m3e ti , and 2 speed brompton electric. I use them all.
I have modified my bespoke 75 with colour coded carbon fibre mudguards, chain guard and other bits titanium to reduce weight. Everything cheap have been changed from peddles, brook saddle and leather handles. I love how I personalised it and looks far better the the normal Brompton, I am not sure if I want an ML6. It’s all fun and games changing a cheap B75 into a modded B75 Brompton.
My B75 is fantastic. Even better now that I replaced the 44 tooth chainring with a Shimano 39 tooth one and removed a couple of links. It's a bit hilly in Upholland here in Lancashire. Always enjoy your videos!
I'm totally addicted to your informative but entertaining videos - hope you don't run out of subject matter! In this one you mention the two colour frame option. I used Bike Builder a day or two before its withdrawal in July 20 to specify and buy my special two-tone H6R. Do you have inside information Brompton is about to restore their wonderful Builder?
Thank you so much. We can’t see a time we will run out of content, we have a long list still to do and the good thing is it keeps getting longer. We don’t know when the bike builder will be back, sorry.
32 miles on my Nine Streets last weekend, then6speed wide range hub was perfect for me. The B75 is a good lower geared bike, but I’m glad I got my Nine Streets! Thanks for the comparison on these 2!
Haha - 100% agree that the B75 is the gateway drug, once you’re hooked you soon realise you need a standard. Still love my B75 though, in spite of the Deliveroo colour.
I am student and I think I can just afford for this model! the terrain from my home to uni is basically flat and just like10 minutes riding. Do you think it fits me?
@@leyuli26 Wow, I wish I knew about these bikes when I was a student and I wish I afforded one at the time! Is it safe for you to ride those 10 minutes? This is a very personal decision, but it is a great bike. Why are you concerned that it may not fit you?
5:58 Or maybe a torque elbo ? : ), joking aside these vids are great, superb presenting style, i'm handy with bikes, built and restored plenty but find these vids addictive. And of course Bromptons have always been interesting and innovative.
Thanks for your kind comment Yes the B75 / A Line pedals and mudguards (and pretty much everything else) are interchangeable with the C Line The first upgrade on an A Line is normally to add mudguard
Hi. I love the information you share and have enjoyed each video I've watched so far. I have a question for you re: the B75 seat post. Is there a reason for the additional 6cm? To help make the bike more compact is not simply a matter of a) cutting 6cm off the bottom of the seat post - without damaging its' integrity - or simply buy the 'standard length' seat post? Thanks 👍🏼
Many thanks for the question. As the bottom of the seat post if flared out, so it stops when you pull it up, we would recommend buying a standard seat post. It does make them more compact when folded.
It's all lost on me. I have a Brompton Electric that's quote nippy. That's as far as my understanding of the various Brompton models goes. But hey, thanks for the education 😀
😂 a few more than we captured! It’s amazing that you know them until the camera looks at you and they disappear from your brain! Thanks for watching and commenting
Thanks… just got my H6R… took me 5 months to get it… I absolutely love it! I have to say that the saddle that comes with it is garbage… along with the wheels on the back rack…
@@paulwoo804 no Brooks that’s for sure… looks like the standard Brompton saddle and it’s uncomfortable as hell! I put a selle on it and I’m riding with a smile on my face!
I had my lovely B75 stolen😢 I stupidly replaced it with a SL - is there much of a difference after I replaced the saddle and added a front block, pedals and mudguards which did not cost that much really compared with the price hike for a SL? Not really. I have even put a 44T chain ring on my SL. You can put a standard chain ring on the B75 as well. The seat post - again cheap to replace. The difference is negligible. It is a bit unfair to talk about not being able to upgrade from 3 to 6spd. You have the same issue if you get a standard 3spd Brompton. So I would get the B75 and spend the money on other stuff to improve your life. Oh the colour of the B75 is better than any of the stock Brompton colours IMHO.
This was the best thing I’ve bought in a long time, although I’ve replaced or upgraded pretty much everything on it so I’m not sure if it’s a b75 any more :)
Damn, the only thing I got out of the video is evil marketing at its best. 😀 "They need friends" are 3 powerful subliminal words. I'm so getting another....but wait, I need to wait 6 months....
Great video as usual❗️ Hope to add a new friend someday I really like the idea of orange and blue.🚴🏻 Right now I’m having fun riding and modding the 2012 M3R I bought a few months ago . If I knew I was going to like it this much I might have sprung for a new 6 speed. Went all the way down to a 40 tooth H&H chainring because climbing with the stock setup was brutal❗️Hey I noticed the mudguard on the stock one sits a little to one side just like mine does , Is there a quick fix for that , kinda makes me a little crazy 🤪
Thanks for watching and the comment. The mudguard stays sometimes get knocked in the box, you can carefully reshape the stays, if they are titanium they are a little more fragile. Hope this helps
Amazing video and thanks for All that Details. Still have one question, in You can answer this? How much does an b75/a line weigh in fact, compared to a Standard brompton, considering all the components missing? (On the site is 11,6kg, but on the US site is listed 10,5kg) in my opinion 1kg Difference is crucial! Thanks a lot!
Many thanks for the question. The A Line (B75) weighs 11.5 kg, a C Lube Utility weighs 11.8 kg, so slightly more. The C Line Explore weighs more at 12.1 kg. But if you want the lightest it’s a C Line Urban at 11.2 kg. Hope this helps and thanks for the question and for watching!
Great information and explanation for the changes over the years. Can you easily fit the longer stem and shorter rise handlebars to a 2016 model without changing the cables? I have already upgraded to the newer brake levers but still have the old gear levers. Many thanks for the great videos you produce. Can you notice any improvement in the mark 4 brake callipers?
Mine is a Flamepainted, Yellow Lightweight, and I got it with its clamp in front, from the dealer, and as a final bike. I have changed what I may find to titanium - and it seems it has the "long version" seat post, as I couldn't fit it in my B&W box for travels, without removing the saddle, and the pin! So I have also invested in a black telescope post, from - Brilliantbikes, I may add, though living in EU still, after the British have got themselves into a lot of troubles - now not even being able to even buy fuel 😬! Greetings from Denmark.
Fabulous video! I love the B75 colour and its simplicity, but then on the other hand…..I wonder if I will regret buying the lesser model even tho I like it more initially? What is the price difference between these 2 bikes?
Sorry we tend to stay away from price, sorry. But one of the advantages of the standard Brompton is the improved / newer version components, also with the newer style handlebars you have more choice in grips if you want to upgrade them
@@brilliantbikes Hi. I was actually in your shop yesterday buying a Brompton basket bag! I have bought a Brompton M3L now in Lagoon Blue(similar colour to the B75 Water Blue). What a brilliant bike! Enjoying watching all your videos!
In the video the B75 hinge clamp plate as well as the thread appears to be greased. My regular 2021 bike had only the thread greased. Should there be grease on the clamp plate? Great comparison and video as always.
You mentioned that Brompton rear wheels should be in the center of the rear triangle but according to Brompton UK saying that this is very normal for the rear wheel to off set to the right side . You have seems so many Brompton models and yet didn’t noticed that the rear wheels are offset to the right side , disappointing . You should take a look at all your existing Brompton models rear wheels ..
If it’s like here the configurator is only available to dealers when they can order the bikes, so maybe have a chat with your local Brompton dealer and ask them if they can order what you are looking for.
How do you mix and match colors? Will Brompton do this if requested? If so, how? Nothing on their website says they do, so I figure you just have to order what they offer you. Ditto choice of seatposts. My H6L C-line Explorer came with an extended seatpost and I had to pay extra and buy a standard height seatpost.
please don't advise Brompton need friend, after watching your video now my hubby nagging want to buy another Brompton when he already has 2 Brompton. 😖 😆 please don't make me as broke wife due hubby spend all money on bike hobby. lol
Pertaining to Brompton rear wheel offset to the right side of the triangle tube , Brompton UK replied that this is normal built for Brompton as to accommodate the folding mechanism as well as to in line with the chairing .. can you explain further ?
If I wanted to upgrade the brake levers on a b75 to new style levers with the integrated gear shifter, what parts would I need? As I understand it, I’d need the levers and new cables. Would it be possible to link me to the parts on your site please? Preferably black 🙂 Also, can you change the stem on a b75 to the new longer stem? I think Brompton said this was possible but difficult? Thanks
Many thanks for watching and for the request, we have the shifter change in our list. The stem change is possible but (frame parts are dealer supply and fit only).
Many thanks for your comment. They are still being made. We have jus had a few in, hence the video. But like all Brompton’s have been in short supply. I think Halfords have had a number in
Thanks for watching - and the great question We haven't seen (or been able to get hold of) an A Line yet to see if there are any differences compared to the B75 If we can get one - we will compare to the standard Brompton and the B75 ... promise!
Essentials on mine are mudguards, brompton block as bags are great if commuting & folding pedal to save calf if carrying it. Brompton rear light very neat as well.
I would just keep an eye on Brompton and the Brompton dealers websites. But the most stock seems to have been at Halfords. Good luck. Thank you for watching
Hi Sir No - that is not normal - it should be sitting in the centre - if it is not, it could rub somewhere (which at worst case can cause a blowout puncture) It's worth getting the bike shop to seat it properly (probably as simple as deflating, manipulating the tyre / tube and re-inflating) It should be corrected
But Brompton Junction advised that this is normal built of Brompton as to accommodate the folding mechanism .. as well as to in line with the chainring .. Maybe you can explain further or to take a look at your Brompton rear wheel as comparison ?
You looks very professional in explaining about Brompton , but I am very disappointed that even Brompton UK replied that the rear wheels offset to the right side is totally normal as to accommodate the folding mechanism .
My beloved B75 was stolen in London last Wednesday. I am devastated. I can already imagine it is now being sold somewhere, who knows where, to someone who is probably unaware of what happened. Please don't buy a bike if it doesn't have legitimate appurtenance/history documentation with clear registration plate (with frame number and serial number). You can check their status on websites for "Bike Register", "Immobilise", "Stolen Bikes", and "Bike Index". If the frame number/serial number are missing on the frame, or the bike is tagged as stolen online, please report it to the police. Together we may create a safer biking community.

Good video as ever guys... Is the B75 still being made? Not seen any on the Brompton site for a while.
Same here. Have been looking to get a B75 forever.
Many thanks for your comment. They are still being made. We have jus had a few in, hence the video. But like all Brompton’s have been in short supply. I think Halfords have had a number in
Not aware of any torque wrenches that work with open end spanners (and pedals without hex slots). Apart from that :-)
They have them…
Should be able to use a crows foot on the torque wrench.
so cute
Can you compare the A line vs the C line like you did here?
We would love to! As soon as we can get hold of one!
Thank you for watching and for your suggestion!
Great comparison, thanks. Love your videos. P.s. Your a lovely 😍 woman.
Thank you so much for your comment which made me smile.
B75 vs new A line or is that B75 with a new name?
Ah the A Line is as you said the new name for the B75, it has also changed colour 😊
Thank you for watching
An Axeoffix clamp functions better! And is lighter. 😁
What about the A-line which is essentially a renamed B75
Thanks for watching - and the great question
We haven't seen (or been able to get hold of) an A Line yet to see if there are any differences compared to the B75
If we can get one - we will compare to the standard Brompton and the B75 ... promise!
Where can we buy a B75 ?. I have been trying to get one for a while now.
Got mine via ebay during whichever lockdown, a lot more affordable now. Happy hunting.
I got mine from Halfords
Finally bought it online at Brompton official website. Now shopping for upgrades 😂
Essentials on mine are mudguards, brompton block as bags are great if commuting & folding pedal to save calf if carrying it. Brompton rear light very neat as well.
I would just keep an eye on Brompton and the Brompton dealers websites. But the most stock seems to have been at Halfords. Good luck.
Thank you for watching
Do the stem on b75 is shorter than pre2017 M6L?
The stem on the B75 / A Line is the same as used on the pre-2017 model Brompton folding bikes (including the M6L)
@@brilliantbikes thank u for the info
Brompton? Hm.....maybe brompton can produce luxury rickshaw to deliver goods, food and petrol in UK
We have our fingers crossed.
Hi madam , I just purchased a B75 and realised that my rear tire is slightly more to the right side , is this consider normal ??
Hi Sir
No - that is not normal - it should be sitting in the centre - if it is not, it could rub somewhere (which at worst case can cause a blowout puncture)
It's worth getting the bike shop to seat it properly (probably as simple as deflating, manipulating the tyre / tube and re-inflating)
It should be corrected
But Brompton Junction advised that this is normal built of Brompton as to accommodate the folding mechanism .. as well as to in line with the chainring ..
Maybe you can explain further or to take a look at your Brompton rear wheel as comparison ?
And I have a list of photos of Brompton bike rear wheel all more to the right side of the triangle tube ..
You looks very professional in explaining about Brompton , but I am very disappointed that even Brompton UK replied that the rear wheels offset to the right side is totally normal as to accommodate the folding mechanism .
There are no big thumbs up, only standard thumbs up.
Lol! I have big thumbs…
Thanks for watching!
😂😂😂 “they need friends”
They do! They get lonely!
If u own an H6R you only need one!
They are even more perfect when you get the perfect spec 😀
@@brilliantbikes yes! I got MY PERFECT SPEC!!! House red H6R!
👱♀️good👍
Many thanks!
I saved money by buying a USED Brompton.
Try finding one!
Can you do a review on A line?
Thanks for the suggestion, at the moment we can’t buy them, as soon as we can we will
@@brilliantbikes great! Do you have a video of either B75 or A upgrade?
My beloved B75 was stolen in London last Wednesday. I am devastated. I can already imagine it is now being sold somewhere, who knows where, to someone who is probably unaware of what happened. Please don't buy a bike if it doesn't have legitimate appurtenance/history documentation with clear registration plate (with frame number and serial number). You can check their status on websites for "Bike Register", "Immobilise", "Stolen Bikes", and "Bike Index". If the frame number/serial number are missing on the frame, or the bike is tagged as stolen online, please report it to the police. Together we may create a safer biking community.
So sorry about this and fingers crossed it gets returned to you!
