Brompton 2020 CHPT3 folding bike

[@birgerlous-willerup5837]

Thanks to your most charming Brompton videos, I’m the happy owner of a H6L British Racing Green and have enjoyed the excellent service of Brilliant Bikes for accessories. Big hug from Denmark.

[@noeliepollie1973]

There is something deadpan and funny about this woman when she reviews Brompton products :)

[@koshobai]

She reminds me of the folks out here in Japan. It's the best. Especially with the "I was gonna make some tea but forgot this lil thing", the upbeat music, the whole shebang. I can't get enough. :)

[@jakemixd]

Even the stand is simple and effective. Genius design bike overall

[@robertoaxelciarelli424]

Brompton is always a beautiful and elegant bike! I am a happy owner of a white brompton!

[@leejoycechung2162]

Very nice. But I like the mud guards. Love all your videos.

[@erwinpasquin7173]

I love it so much but can't afford one so I have to be contented watching your video. Thank you so much for this ma'am!

[@paullee4210]

A Brampton is what I want for Christmas.

[@ardnesatkoardne8035]

And you know what, I have got this very bike ON SALE. Contact me if you are interested. ;)

[@gilscibenk3118]

Yay...i’m the very lucky one..i have one already..

[@finncarlbomholtsrensen1188]

I have bought special nice colour (to fit my bikes own)" lightweight" round hinge clamps, with a special spring-set behind, to keep the clamp parallel and free from turning. Also with a lock nut in the end, to make them stay in the frame, when loosened.

[@brilliantbikes]

Thanks for watching and for the comments. Brompton’s are great to personalise

[@finncarlbomholtsrensen1188]

@@brilliantbikes Yes indeed! I did find a "skeleton" titanium lock for my black, titanium back frame and latest a black titanium seat post with a ring for the saddle, and wasting the heavy original Brompton clamp! I am looking for a titanium stem post in black also - from the East, but I need to save a little more for that, now most things have become much more expensive, lately, during the war in Ukraine!

[@magnyton6327]

Thank you for videos, love to watch and learn. I have two Brompton bikes 🚲 , custom made from 2019. 💝🌻

[@brilliantbikes]

Thank you for watching and for the comment 😀

[@stolenorange]

I love the custom Bromptons - they're much better than any of the special releases, in my opinion

[@colinhoward2200]

Just a superlight then with no mudguards, a different saddle and tyress. So get a superlight, remove the mudguards and put slick tyres on in the summer. Put the mudguards back on along with normal tyres in the winter, and you save a load of cash?

[@ep8029]

Always enjoy your videos.

[@brilliantbikes]

Thank you! And thank you for watching!

[@kevintan9054]

Wonderful unboxing video! I’m so glad to just received my CHPT3 v3 yesterday 😃🙏👍

[@PhilGooch]

Nice bike! I was on the waiting list for the CHPT3 with Brompton but their website crashed and now they've all gone :( It's a shame that Brompton are only focusing on special limited editions these days and not making the standard models available. I would have liked to have bought one, but will be buying a Tern Verge X11 now as it seems there's still a 6 month wait for a Brompton.

[@alex77ldn]

I'm so glad you called it "chapter". I had no idea what CHPT was all about. Do bikes have chapters? Do chapters 1 and 2 exist? Books and things like that where you expect them usually just say "Ch" don't they? Glad it's not just me being thick.

[@brilliantbikes]

Thanks for watching - and the great question We used to just refer ti it as C H P T 3 - letter by letter It was inspired by the ex-professional rider David Millar - referring to the 3rd chapter in his life Maybe you can work it out here (to be honest we struggled a bit!) : chpt3.com/pages/david-millar

[@DavidvanLochem]

I love it, but I am new to the Bromptons, so I am not bored by the design. I have an electric for commuting and I am seriously thinking to buy a second one, lighter, muscular to ride around when I am not commuting.

[@colinhoward2200]

Just get a superlight

[@DavidvanLochem]

@@colinhoward2200 I am myself very heavy, so I might consider keeping a steel frame ...

[@paulwoo804]

“Please don’t be mean coz it upsets us!” LOL

[@BELLAPHONTOO]

I would personally opt for the two speed as a Londoner and make the bike at least 700g lighter. She's so careful with both the bike and bag, because it's so obviously spoken for and the aftermarket value is now northwards of 4K GBP. Decal, I prefer der-CAUL as opposed to der-COW. #pedantic

[@chrispig7748]

Love one of those but so expensive

[@frankhooper7871]

I don't get why Brompton still stick to hinge clamps that don't have the asymmetric clamps with a lock which keeps them from spinning around when opened, as offered by many as a 3rd-party upgrade.

[@amandaleigh3852]

BRILLIANT video as usual, and I particularly enjoyed the practical application of the favourite fridge magnet demonstration...knew there must be a use for it somewhere 😉 Definitely a good looking bike, but I don’t think I’ll be getting one in my Christmas stocking either 😂 I suddenly feel the need for a cup of tea too..! Stay safe 🤗

[@TM-vg4mx]

I wish we can buy it in 2021, thanks for the nice video

[@fajarp8282]

Just got mine

[@adrianlw2750]

I fear one would have to have two Brompton’s - a Chapter 3 for show, and an S6L for go. But as someone has said before... you can never have too many bikes😂

[@brilliantbikes]

That's the truth! We have an old short wheelbase for show (That's be our one called Blue!) and M6L for every day / touring

[@mcq2525]

I have an older version C-3 which is my (almost) daily workhorse. Its got mudguards and a carrier block too. I personally don't believe in maintaining resale values by not using the bike (!). I gain more joy from riding the bike than having that extra bit of savings in the bank.

[@adrianlw2750]

Chong Tan - perfect😃 bikes are for using - my M6L is both cherished and used a lot - the idea of preserving for some other person’s benefit has never appealed to me - I buy to use and get my money’s worth👍. Always well-cared for though.

[@AugustPowell-hz2vo]

I've been riding this bike for about a month kzbin.infoUgkxwC0IIeIomGQVeBWg-kKJaToZkLEFIA2W and a half now and I think it's fantastic. It helps me get to work on time every day since I'm able to fit it inside of public transportation rush hour. The price is great too, people are always shocked when they ask me how much I paid for the fold up and I tell them "200". It's easy to fold and installation when it ships is insanely easy. All you have to install when the bike arrives is one foot pedal, everything else is done for you. I do recommend you carry some sort of wrench to tighten any loose screws on the handle bar and seat whenever they get a little bit loose. Other than that I think it's a fantastic bike. Easily fits in the home, can fit inside a car trunk and can even fit in subway rush hour.

[@brilliantbikes]

It really is a lovely bike. Thank you for watching!

[@svenfischer4834]

Thanks for this video! Enjoy your cup of tea!! ;-)

[@tortinwall]

Only 10 kg? Hmmm... how much of that is because of the S bars, no mudguards, and a razor blade for a saddle? I’m happy with my M6R with a Brooks saddle.

[@adrianlw2750]

@Tristram Sidey - my B17 Standard has seated me well so far for over 3,000 on my M6L, and just gets better every ride! Brooks on all my bikes, understandably😃

[@davidluck4608]

Yes ...... you can’t beat a sprung BROOKS SADDLE🧐

[@vicentvanmole]

very beautiful bike % very relaxing review

[@brilliantbikes]

Many thanks! Thank you for watching.

[@edgarcorrea]

I bought a $1,700 dollar Brompton two months ago from a Brompton retailer in NYC and was told I couldn't have the box because ” it was Brompton's policy" not to provide boxes because of rampant counterfeiting issues. Sooooo... I'm not always the brightest bulb in the bunch, but to me... It would seem a hell of a lot easier to create counterfeit boxes than it would be to create counterfeit Brompton bikes. Full disclosure.... They said they aren't provided with boxes either... Having said that... I'm still mad that I didn't get my box. I'm just saying.

[@lonestarlaurel]

Хачирова Call b4 you go, they may be sold out and in preorder mode for the 2022 by now. Umm, why would anyone want a Brompton without a rear rack ??

[@edgarcorrea]

@@pelmeni93 Doesn't matter which store B/C it's a Brompton policy everywhere (according to the Brompton salesman who was great)...

[@fenkitv]

I got one as well..Yeaah!

[@bethmccaff255]

No mudguards = no go if you live in Northern Europe

[@devjon123]

The people at Brommiemods do customised aluminium mudguards in matched Brompton colours. I have Flame Red ones fitted to my (2019) CHPT3. Can't say that I notice any difference in weight, but of course, being red they make the bike go much faster ;-) EDIT: Pet peeve, Brompton, would it be too much effort to fit a black handlebar fixing bolt to the bikes with black handlebars and stems?

[@CosgroveNotts]

Folk are stupid enough to pay for Brompton extras

[@guntherlammerer3265]

@@devjon123 sounds nice.

[@johnnymac8680]

I believe that this bike has a price tag of over £2k. Where I live it's not unusual to have 15-20 days with rain in any month of the year. Not the best bike for commuting, then.

[@dferdek]

Hello my dear! I love your channel and I appreciate all info about Brompton. I would ask you about a video haw can I change my gear shifting to new post 2017 models. I’ve got a beautiful Raw Lacquer 2015 M6L and I would like to make and upgrade to the new break lever with gear shifting. Big big hug from Madrid 😘

[@brilliantbikes]

Thank you so much for your kind comment. Your suggestion is brilliant - it is on our list!

[@effyleven]

@@brilliantbikes Yes. The integrated brake/gear levers were a REAL upgrade, when they arrived. Not only do they look smart and operate smoothly, they are not vulnerable to damage when the bike is upturned for maintenance. Now, the bike rests on the "soft bits"... saddle and bar grips.

[@taber247]

Aluminium black anodised head set? Thank you for the videos. Take care all.

Great video really enjoyed it ..I got my first Brompton yesterday so I can not go out at the minute some of the symptoms of the virus keeps coming back so when they go il be going out trying my bike . Did you know there is bike called the pike that’s exactly the same as the Brompton bikes therefrom Indonesia the only thing that is different is the name don’t no if you have seen them advertising them on KZbin and on Facebook if you have not you should have look .

Will you be commuter testing it using several modes of transport? Will there be stairs?

Unfortunately it was only a view and the opportunity to see the CHPT3 before it left us ;-( We will be commuting over the winter on our standard steel steeds - M6L! (And looking at how the autumn has started - lots of waterproof clothes and luggage!)

[@edjack1993]

Great vid. Very nice bike.

[@bush-radler7326]

[@TR4zest]

The laptop bag says Brompton views this as a commuter bicycle; the lack of mudguards says it is not: for sunny dry days only.

[@BikeoffTOKYO]

Wanna see a 20 inches Brompton, keeping the portability, happen to own several folding bikes and the Brompton’s 16 inches wheels are ok on shorter rides but for anything longer than 5 miles I prefer a 20 inches bike

[@rollingthunder4]

Mudguards: just use clip-on ones for inclement weather👍🏻

[@colinhoward2200]

Or buy a Superlight for less, and remove them in the summer? It is the same thing. I really don't know why people have not got that yet - you just have to read the specifications rather than watch a video of a guy riding around a skateboard park. You could even do that on a B75 at a third of the price!!!

[@johnoliver7411]

This was a very unfair I called Brilliant bikes and they had reserved all these for customers weeks ago, obviously something fishy going on. Now I think I’ll get a standard superlight as mudguards inc and I can customise it.

[@carywatmore]

Oh come on John, at least you guys can still get bromptons. We here pay a premium of 50% over the UK RRP.

[@charles0414]

Is that saddle made by Fabric? Titanium rails? Just curious because all the chpt3 2020 are sold on eBay with crazy price now. We probably not have a chance to see one unless we go to Indonesia.

[@patrickdaly5988]

It's a nice bike, but I find the fruits of this collaboration massively underwhelming. It looks they spent five minutes coming up the design. Brompton's lacquer finishes are far more enticing than this.

[@sheilastallard]

Lovely Brompton!!!. When are you having one or two in stock?

[@rogerhudson9732]

Nice video. Particularly the sexy hand modelling.

[@aliceyan8808]

What about having features like hp holder and charging port powered by solar

[@kwhatten]

If they utilize a gear hub, is it possible to use a belt drive?

[@NoZenith]

Retrofitting most things like that would be possible but you would have to change the entire Driveline from the chain ring to the rear sprockets and derailleur system. I'm not sure the effectiveness of a derailleur on a belt because I'm new at this. If you figure it out post videos!

Bromptons are all about slick, practical cycling. Excelling at city riding especially when combined with other transport use and of course, commuting. No mudguards! No lights! Expensive and stupid.

I like the Brompton, but given the times we're living in, the CHPT3 is a total ripoff, it isn't art in the way that a Moulton is, and the ride doesn't nearly compare. I'm in agony after 18 miles along a coastal footpath on a Brompton (much as I love them) compared to the sublime ride of my Moultons.

This is a review of a classic tricked out by a Tour de France rider. Not the same category as a wisper 806.

[@AHmad-pm4pb]

Nothing special. The aluminium seatpost clamp and hinges are nothing compare to aluminium or titanium parts made by taiwan 🇹🇼 like ti parts , H&H, Ridea, Nov design. Brompton should at least ditch that 6 speed setup and move on to 3 & 4 speed external cog. More lighter and less work shifting gears. Brompton could design better with that CHPT3 printed on red. Why not have special emblem CHPT3 welded on the frame. I guess , i better wait for nickel titanium again if they ever built one.

[@lonestarlaurel]

AH mad: Certainly with you on the major ‘transmission’ upgrade. For touring.

[@samuelbreton9061]

The 6 speed setup with a 50t chainring give me gears rollout between 33" to 100". To get the same kind of top speed on a standard hub, I would need a 72t chainring with the 12t cog. For the lowest gear (16t) to be climbing as well as the internal geared hub, the chainring would need to be a tiny 33t. This is the main reason why internal hubs are needed on tiny wheels. Unless you redesign the whole rear end... Then you could go 72t chainring, and a 12-24-36 cassette... But I doubt the chain tensioner would be able to catch that much chain slack..

[@misstubbie1313]

Funny you refer to the bike as a 'him'. I'm from Mexico and in Spanish, the word 'bicycle' is a feminine noun. So it would be a 'she': LA bicicleta
