Brompton Borough Medium (Roll Top) Bag

We had a question / comment about this Brompton bag
"The Brompton Borough Medium (roll top) bag - is not the same as the Brompton Borough Large Roll Top bag - and not just the size"
The bag is "similar" but has different features
The kind viewer suggested we highlight the features
So, here we attempt to do that!
We haven't run through all the features of the Borough Roll Top Bag - which first appeared with the Brompton Explore bike - as we did that here:
• Brompton Borough Roll ...
Sorry it's not the grips (yet) - they are still a work in progress

“To a swimming pool, of the large bag, that’s 28 litres”. **deadpan** 😂

This is a video about bags, bicycle bags. This lady has an ability to transform mundane things into something we cannot wait to watch and learn. And with awe.

She is a sweet lady. Too bad she doesn’t have a decent product to hawk

Many thanks for your comment and watching.

This is the perfect sized bag for Brompton. I’ve bought one and love it very much.

[@brilliantbikes]

So glad you think so! We also think it’s a nice sized bag. Thank you for watching!

[@alerxi1]

apart from being the best informative videos of the brompton brand, and I have seen quite a few they are very funny and funny the final part with the false shots 😂😂

[@brilliantbikes]

Thank you for making us smile and for watching

[@andythousand345]

Love watching these videos.

[@cnadala]

Love how you do your videos. Thorough and clear but funny!

[@brilliantbikes]

Thank you so much for watching and for your comments- made me smile 😊

[@baharezo]

Thank you for making the comparison video. It is very helpful video as always!

[@brilliantbikes]

Thank you for watching and the nice comments

[@fs9404]

Another great, informative video delivered with a hint of cheekiness. Brilliant.

[@brilliantbikes]

Thank you so much for your nice comment and for watching.

[@phillblake6829]

I have this bag and it holds so much. If you leave it unrolled it fits even more. Great bag

[@EverydayCycling]

This is a really helpful and informative comparison. I'd love to see the Waterproof Pouch next!

[@brilliantbikes]

Many thanks! We have so nearly done the waterproof pouch before! It’s so useful!

[@cameronclasper3824]

Really informative and clear video - THANK YOU has aided in my decision one which bag to buy on the cycle to work scheme with my new Brompton S6L

[@brilliantbikes]

So glad it helped 😊! Thank you for watching!

[@ioanamadalina6109]

Thank you very much for this video. I was looking for a video about this bag.

[@brilliantbikes]

Glad it was a useful video. Thank you for watching and commenting.

[@lonestarlaurel]

Brilliant, very helpful. Gratitude here. Happy trails 🥳🎶

[@brilliantbikes]

Many thanks for watching, really glad it was helpful!

[@tjc89]

Omg! Had this nearly a year and ifs the best bromoton product I bought and fits so much inside!

[@brilliantbikes]

Many thanks for watching and for your comment- agree it’s a lovely bag!

[@obg6446]

Good review, iv order the same bag with my new Brampton

[@autumnsky_tv]

Thank you. That helped a lot.

[@rzin2007]

i have the same Quad Lock case. Quad lock accessories are perfect!

[@brilliantbikes]

They are great and really protect the phone!

[@AO-qu9we]

Lovely video as always x I initially bought the large borough and was surprised as it was too big (kinda ideal for touring). I’ve since exchanged it for the medium borough in olive and perfect for everyday use + food shopping, also matches my orange bromy 🍊

[@brilliantbikes]

It seems a really versatile bag and goes well with Orange 🍊. Thanks you for watching

[@zamphzibaha]

I liked your bag video. Thumbs up.

[@brilliantbikes]

Many thanks for watching and for the comment 😀😃

[@darrencoates]

Lovely and informative video as always. I’d like to see one on the Small Burroughs bag as I’m thinking of getting one - maybe a comparison with the mini o bag would be a good angle

[@brilliantbikes]

Thank you so much for the comment. Great suggestion!

[@georgew6955]

I've bought & sold quite a few Brompton bags over the past 3 or 4 years but have never found the perfect one, I've had this one for about a year & I think it's a keeper, just right for me. Really good informative videos, but being a sad old bloke I have to say the very nice presenter makes the content even better - sorry!

[@brilliantbikes]

Glad you think it’s a keeper! Thank you for watching and the nice comments, made me smile

[@maxpower7735]

I've been waiting for this video, but couldn't stop me from buying the bag :) The same is btw for the "Brompton Borough Waterproof Bag S" - it lacks some features of the bigger version. But: It is super compact and I'm not missing the features.

[@brilliantbikes]

Many thanks for watching! Sounds like another video idea

[@bethchaplin2023]

I bought this bag and it's pretty nice-looking. It's a little small for an EDC, but on the other hand doesn't weigh down the bike. I'm using the flat back pocket for the rain cover, and plan to carry my essentials (phone, airpods, train pass, wallet) in a small sling for easy access, which will hopefully make this arrangement work better. In retrospect, I should have chosen something with more quick-access options, either a different style or the larger version; it's weird that more exterior pockets were not included. However, it's probably better to have those things on me rather than on the bike anyway.

[@fraserp2377]

This is a great bag, I just wish the length of the strap and clasp that goes over the roll top was longer, I feel like i could fit a lot more into the roll top, but the top can't be secured properly due to the short strap.

[@edomb]

You could get (or make) an extender -- maybe 16" of 1" webbing, with a male buckle on one end and female on the other.

[@omerfaruker2903]

Could you introduce other bags? beautiful video

[@stolenorange]

Satsumas and nuts. Good choice. The bag is a good lightweight option, relatively speaking.

[@brilliantbikes]

Thank you so much for watching! Hmm not had some satsumas this year yet!

[@ZoeBios121]

It's been too long since The Metro Pouch Channel has posted a video about a metro pouch, haha (will happily watch videos about both)

[@brilliantbikes]

We agree! Thanks for watching and for the comment 😃

[@iant5222]

thank-you ...I vote for a vid on the racksack please

[@brilliantbikes]

We keep meaning to do the rack sac, but need to do a video on fitting a rack first 😀

[@daletsteele]

Great comparison. I can't use these bags on my Brompton Electric but am curious as to the weight on your fully loaded medium roll top bag. Thanks.

[@TM-vg4mx]

would like to buy my first Brompton bag but I cannot decide which one to go for. thanks for the Great videos

[@brilliantbikes]

I know it’s a challenge, there’s so many nice ones to choose from! It so depends on what you plan to carry. Good luck!

[@ricardochoa]

Thanks for your video... another useful help as I was very undecided on the bag... this made it so much easier! Lady (sorry I don't know your name) your "sass" is lovely ;)

[@brilliantbikes]

Many thanks!! My name is Hannah 😀

[@ricardochoa]

@@brilliantbikes Hi Hannah, strange how you helped me to chose a bike, a bag and accessories and even guided me to install my One tyres and I didn’t even know your name. Again, many thanks for making Brompton life so easy and keep the sass 💁‍♀️

[@raykiii]

Yes! Please could you do a side by side by side comparison?

[@brilliantbikes]

Many thanks for the suggestion 😊 and thank you for watching

[@raykiii]

@@brilliantbikes I also enjoy your outtakes. Your videos are so polished and professional looking that it's nice to know you can have trouble getting a phrase out or getting a bag out of a bag. They can be very funny.

[@stewartdorrell2506]

Many thanks for the excellent videos. Could you cover options for new ‘handlebar’ grips for the P style bars please? The foam on mine has disintegrated. Ironically the foam was very useful as a would be thief left his blood and hence DNA in the foam, so I would welcome a practical change to erase the memory!

[@brilliantbikes]

Thank you for watching and for the comment - if you email Brilliant Bikes they may have a solution for you.

[@adriannelson3045]

Does the large bag include extra bags like the medium?

[@Who1oh]

I have a 10 year old Brompton M6R can I upgrade the gear changers? As I might have missed one on "How to do it". Your video's are great. Ian. Ide'F

[@seductive_Octopus]

🤔 I’m slowly trying to figure out what I can and can’t do with my Brompton and I wonder what Bag would u recommend as a first bag purchase. ( primarily for buying groceries) At the moment I’m leaning towards the open basket bag.... but what would you recommend?

[@brilliantbikes]

Many thanks for watching and for the question. The basket bag is really versatile so a great option as a first bag

[@sheilastallard]

When you put your things into the bag, the camera approached it with caution ,I expect he (who is camera shy!) was expecting some thing to jump out at him!! Keep em coming and STAY SAFE!!. Question, are we going to have 12 months of out takes for Christmas?

[@brilliantbikes]

Thanks so much for your comments - made us giggle! He has thought of doing an outtake video!

[@changxuren1200]

Thanks for the video!! I wonder if the laptop slave on the medium size bag can fit a 16 inch Mac book? Thanks!

[@volodymyrpetrov9677]

Good day! I love your channel and videos. So charming... I would like to ask, if the 14L capacity is with the rolltop loaded to the full extent, or is there some extra space because of the rolltop design? So is it "~10L+4L rolltop" or is it "14L+? rolltop"? And also, where can I find one used? Also, if you by any chance know where can I find one besides ebay or facebook marketplace?

[@friasrod]

@brilliantbikes Great review! Which bag do you recommend for commuting (I'll fill it with a jacket + laptop + iPad + shoes): Brompton Borough Medium (or the Messenger Medium) or the Borough Roll Top Bag (or the Messenger Large)? It's quite difficult watching the videos. Cheers!

[@brilliantbikes]

It’s a different choice! The shoes can be big! We also like the two waterproof bags.

[@brilliantbikes]

Just thinking I used to commute with mores or less this amount of stuff. I think I would go for the metro large waterproof bag as it’s smart and waterproof!

[@friasrod]

​@@brilliantbikes All right then! Metro large: Sold! Thank you

[@chriseilbeck261]

Any chance of a vid on the new official Quadlock mount and apps that are worth having on your phone when you're using it like a trip computer?

[@brilliantbikes]

Many thanks for watching. It is on our list 😀

[@brilliantbikes]

And now the Quadlock mounts have arrived with us! Looking forward to unpacking and fitting 😀

[@Maxboyrm85]

Could i fit a full size keyboard in one with a 13” laptop?

[@grahamlongley8298]

All these bags & only one( fairly restricted) proper bag for the E-bike ( not counting the silly little one) What a pity

[@brilliantbikes]

Yes, we keep hoping that Brompton will come up with one. We have known people to purchase a frame to make their own.

[@richardbarrett4104]

Do you also need the aluminium front frame, as well as the block please young lady?

[@brilliantbikes]

Many thanks for the question. The front carrier block attached to the Brompton frame.

[@chrisbliss2034]

Can I say....." Fun bags" ?! 🤗😁

[@LimTomaz]

Can we get some discount through your channel for these bags?

[@brilliantbikes]

So sorry we cannot discount. Thank you for watching

[@richardbarrett4104]

Sorry, how many litres is the medium bag please?

[@brilliantbikes]

The medium roll top bag has a capacity of 14 litres. Thanks for watching and for the question.

[@charithaellapola2285]

Brompton has not considered it's customers wanting to go shopping on the electric Brompton this is the only solution so far

[@user-pk5wq8io6w]

俺も欲しいけど

[@cradle652]

Personally I find most Brompton bags dour if not ugly. Add astronomical pricing and you know why folks are shifting to other options.

[@omerfaruker2903]

Borough bag Large plese

Many thanks for the comment / suggestion. We have done the Borough roll top before and there is a link in the video to this
