Barbour X Brompton 2022 Special Edition

[@malcolmdalrymple1779]

Oh, I do love the “out takes”. They’re gems.

[@brilliantbikes]

Lol! Always to good to bin! Thanks for watching!

[@Rob-cv3vh]

I think that's gorgeous. And it's my birthday in 2 weeks - oh dear! My poor family! 😄

[@AshySamurai]

I like their new trend of making all bikes black edition.

[@gerlunatorres]

It would have been nice if the grips matched the saddle. Perhaps you can do a video to customize the grips? The bike is beautiful.

[@brilliantbikes]

Very true! And a great idea! Thanks

[@tortinwall]

Well the Barbour branding and the bags are all very well, but where do I put my 12-bore?

[@karlgw]

interesting tyres. they should have put something like that on the 'Explore' models

[@PitanuBoonyaratvej]

What a lovely colour

[@brilliantbikes]

We think so too!

Thank you for the super early review

[@brilliantbikes]

Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment!

[@gerlunatorres]

Why they did not match the grips with the saddle and tires? 🙂

[@brilliantbikes]

That’s a very good question! I can think of some that would match as well!

[@srspower]

Where's the motor?

[@GlobalAdventurer]

It would be just one more branding sticker to cover up if I purchased it. I don't try to advertise stuff for numerous reasons. Nice new bike/bags. But, I like bright colors, so I'll keep what I have. I love my metro bag and brompton backpack bag. I put both on the front, so I can keep an eye on them :)

[@brilliantbikes]

😀 thank you for watching! We love the bright colours too!

What a beau, classic.

[@takujadebun]

Super nice video!!! I should get one...

Is the bell any louder? The integrated bell has been a disappointment in my opinion.

Nice colour and tyres. Seat colour is nice. Would be fantastic if it is a superlight? The bell is still crappy. The small saddle pouch is lovely.

Many thanks for watching the question and for watching! No it’s not superlight. The bag is cool!

[@MrMocloud]

Thank you for the vid. I'm a bit sad they don't have it in the H type handlebars, otherwise I'd be placing my order right now 😭

Ah shame! Maybe the next one might? Who knows! Thanks for watching!

When will they colaborate with billingham?

[@wingcreator]

I wonder too.

[@jazzfan7491]

great idea

[@mrh9170]

Good luck with the Cambrian saddle. I found the C17 to be the most uncomfortable saddle I’ve ever owned.

[@brilliantbikes]

So far I’ve loved the C17 and had it on a mountain bike. I guess saddles are such a personal preference!

[@pahhaw4251]

With the strength of the dollar, now is the time for all Americans who ever wanted a Brompton to jump on it!

[@brilliantbikes]

Yes! Must be a lovely thought!

[@owenchuarbx]

How about a comparison between this and the previous 2017 edition.

[@brilliantbikes]

We’d love too but don’t have the previous version! If someone does have one we can borrow to compare that would be amazing!

[@fraserp2377]

Thanks for the video. What size are the tyres please? 35mm? I can't seem to find them for sale anywhere.

[@brilliantbikes]

Many thanks for the question. Standard Brompton ETRO/ISO size: 35-349 / 16 x 1.35 inch. And thanks for watching!

Superb.Beaut!

Can we purchase that bell for our standard Bromptons? The stock bell sucks! 😝

[@brilliantbikes]

Fingers crossed for new bells…. Thanks for watching

They are lovely and I hear their should be some more available soon!

[@briandavies2833]

Nice. I love the colour. Are those knobbly tyres available to purchase separately? What's their full name and part number?

[@lofiant81]

Isn’t it about time Brompton updated the conical roller wheels as standard, I recently got a C line and the roller wheels are pretty much useless, they work as a stand but don’t allow the owner to roll the bike around in a supermarket for example as they’re too small, as soon as the bikes tilted the suspension block catches the ground, being the iconic brand that brompton is I’d have thought you would want your customers to be able roll the folded bike around as part of its appeal

[@lcg3816]

Agreed and pretty stupid for the cost not matching it’s selling point

[@marcod2776]

How much for the retail price?

[@brilliantbikes]

Sorry we stay away from the retail prices due to currently differences. Thanks for watching!

[@effyleven]

Aha! Filmed at the new shop, I think. (err.. another embargo?)

[@brilliantbikes]

😂 yes, filmed at the new shop! That we need to reveal! 😀

[@duncanhamilton5841]

That's a very, umm, 70s colour palette going on there. Not really tickling my fancy at all, but no doubt coming soon to an eBay listing near you at twice RRP. Sidenote - I'd be genuinely interested in how the Barbour Brompton jacket is. No intention of every buying one, just a heavy cotton waxed jacket would be the very last thing I'd ride a bicycle in

[@davidburgess5419]

The jacket is £380 !!!

[@duncanhamilton5841]

@@davidburgess5419 well, compared with the Oliver Spencer X Brompton saggy box cut perma creased blazer, its a bargain 😆

[@ryuariffin9232]

Is it limited or special edition?

[@brilliantbikes]

Good question. It’s actually both, it was a special edition in collaboration with Barbour and was of a limited number

[@majheerink]

@@brilliantbikes How many were manufactured?

[@seductive_Octopus]

I have never seen a Brompton Special Edition worth his Money... all just Normal Bikes with Different Colors but more Expensive. I rather buy a Normal one and tune it, to make it worth the Higher Price.

[@LonicGheshu]

Last week there were two listed on eBay for £3,800 and £4,700. They look like they've reduced because today there are six listed between £3,500 and £4,250 - most at £3,850. That is a price hike over the standard C Line Explore of £2,500 (see edit). If we said the special clamps, bell cover, seat, seatpost, tyres, pump and bags were an additional £500 (being generous) then that's £2,000 for beige paint and some decals! It blows my mind that people would pay that, but I guess the Asian market will lap it up. EDIT: I have to take that back. Looks like this is more a criticism of those greedy people on eBay trying to sell before official release. It's £1,895 from Brompton and that includes the bags, so NOT any more expensive than a usual special edition.

[@Ram-69]

Agreed. Nothing special… still the same.. not worth the $

[@scottsnider9090]

Folks buy Brompton for the love of the bike, coolness factor and quality. Plenty of other low cost options out there.

[@horsenuts1831]

They're probably hoping to sell one to a country where the model hasn't been released (probably Singapore or Malaysia) where special editions are prized.

[@amandaleigh3852]

Another BRILLIANT video (of course!🙌) and interesting to see the collaborative bling - love the colour and sure they’ll get snapped up… that saddle is definitely brown! 🤔😉

[@lcg3816]

The exchange rate of Hong Kong dollar to gbp has raised by nearly 20% in few months! I bought a explorer in black lacquer which cost more than $2300usd. This version cost us less after exchange rate effects! There’s no extra money! All additional features come at zero cost to us. Of course standard version cost even less now

[@chrispig7748]

I find you have to tighten that pentaclip a huge amount to stop it slipping. The only thing I don’t like on my Brompton. You shouldn’t have to tighten it that much

[@markhooper5824]

You must love your job, in your shop, dealing with Brompton's. Sort of job I would like to do.

[@devjon123]

A friend of mine wears a Bowler hat whilst riding his Brompton. It looks quite stylish ( he has the wherewithal to carry it off, I'd just look a bit of a plonker ) and is quite an effective safety helmet. I've getting the "Pith Helmet" vibe from the new colour scheme, I think it would go well. I think the brilliant Ms Brilliant Bikes should get hold of one and model it for us. 🤔😉

[@karlgw]

if you can't carry off a bowler, what's the chances of you carrying off a Pith Helmet? 🤣

[@brilliantbikes]

I’m not sure if look good in a Pith helmet! They look a bit more ‘on a horse’ than ‘on a Brompton’ to me! Maybe one day!

[@meera6024]

I’m more interested in the bags. I have a Barbour Terras bag which is beautiful but the new hold-all looks like it’s really big and could be a great weekend bag, especially for someone who doesn’t like their Brompton bag to look like a cycle bag. But the price…ouch!

[@wingcreator]

The 2017 Barbour Terras Bag is lovely which I own that came with the Brompton Barbour V1. I think the GBP170 Barbour X Brompton Wax City Bag is the smaller and nicer of the two. Barbour x Brompton Wax Holdall is GBP200.

Nice ! I’ll definitely be getting set of those tires when they become available. I think they’ll help a little with my off road excursions!😄 The seatbag is kinda nice also do you think that will be available separately?

Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment We expect the Metro pouch to arrive with us tomorrow - end Sept 2022 We're waiting to see about the tyres - we agree they look like they will be great on canal paths etc (obviously we would never take them real off road ;-) )

Now you too can ride around looking like a countryside British aristocrat! The bike and the Metro pouch do look very nice indeed. The front bag and clothing however: terribly boring. In that dull posh style that Barbour does so well.

[@brilliantbikes]

[@KavanOBrien]

It doesn’t seem to be anything remarkable just a couple of different things but nothing you would write home about , what ever floats your boat would be nice to see a belt drive system on a Brompton but would probably years away, song = (Painting = Ocean Colour Scene).

[@sandydennylives1392]

So a heavy as lead C line with fashion touches that takes it to the price of the T line. No thanks, I'll put a job bonus towards desperately lightening my 2 speed instead.

[@grahamlongley8298]

A bit off thread but on the subject of bags When I was a teenager(60s) I had a Brooks saddle bag. It was black It had a rod through the top that I slid through 4 points on the underside of the saddle to hold it. It also had a strap to fit to the post, but I never used it. I put my school stuff in it & when at school I just slid the rod out & released the bag in 2 seconds. I put the rod back in the bag & had a handle. The bag had 2 small pouches each end. It was brilliant & rugged, which it needed to be for a teenager. I really would like to buy another, but have never seen one. This one was about 15 inches wide ( from memory)Do you know of any please as all the ones I see are silly things that are narrow & extend out backwards. They have nowhere near the capacity of my old Brookes saddlebag? The seat bag that you show is- in my mind-- pointless- as being male, I can stick stuff in my pocket. Perhaps different for a lady , of course -- sorry about that!!!!! Great vid as usual though

😁 As an elderly man of 74, I had - absolutely no idea of what the "Barbour" Brand was, before looking it up! So don't expect to sell a Brompton bike to me!! I find it a lack of real ideas to make bikes like that, with only the color scheme as a sales point!

[@yurikondratesq]

Retro styled bikes are horrible to ride, that seat will make you swear like a sailor in no time...and that colour is ghastly in my view, a new shade of green would have been so much nicer for this collaboration... BROMPTON should do more collaborations with other brands, unfortunately this collaboration does not tickle my fancy...
