Handmade in small batches and available just a few times a year. Black Edition is inspired by riding in the city at night and new ways of seeing the familiar. 
 
The all-steel frame in Flame Lacquer is powder-coated in-house at the Brompton London Factory. Like molten copper, this red-coloured lacquer changes from light to dark as it moves. The hand-brazed steel welds are visible through the finish.
