Welcome to the fold!
A community for all Bromptonites of the Fediverse!
The Brompton is a folding bicycle which is known for its unique design and compact folded size. The 3-part fold transforms the bike into an incredibly small locked package in no time.
Made in London, UK - loved all over the world. <3

Thank you very much. Apparently something went wrong while cross posting.
I added the link to the article.
Oh man I need that. I wonder whether this could be retrofitted onto a 6-speed 2022 C-line?
Not easily. They are using a new rear triangle and I think a different design variant of the BWR hub.
So I would guess you would need:
- New wheel with new hub & 4 sprockets
- New derailleur (4 speed)
- 4 speed shifter
- New rear triangle ("Advanced rear triangle")
It sounds a little difficult and costly, but generally doable.
There is a new video by Brompton explaining the new system: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYJaYKygF0s
