Unboxing Brompton T line, Brompton's first full titanium body folding bike

[@gordonmculloch4904]

Looks like you have a nice collection of bikes, not to mention your guitar. The Brompton is such a great versatile bike. You can put in in the boot of your can or take it on a the train, and once you have reached your destination you can unfold it and go exploring. Happy biking. 👍 Ps your video does the T line justice.

[@781BromptonPremiumParts]

That’s a good complement Gordon, Brompton gives us the pocket type bike feeling where you can bring it anywhere, the folding is just magic compared to other folding bikes, appreciate your comment man, take care!

[@gordonmculloch4904]

@@781BromptonPremiumPartsthanks for the reply. I’ve the electric one, and I love it. You take care also. 👍

Nothing beats the feeling of unboxing a brand new Brompton except unboxing a brand new T Line🎉

[@781BromptonPremiumParts]

Haha oh yes, that could be our title! Thanks Stan

7:46 El protector del cuadro trasero para la cadena lo has puesto en el lado contrario, ¿no?

[@781BromptonPremiumParts]

Actually it is not a chain protector, it is the rear frame protector, it is to avoid scratches from your ehook when folded.

Andrew Ritchie was a young engineer who thrived on solving problems. When he moved to London, he decided there must be a better way of moving around. In 1975, in the bedroom of his flat overlooking the Brompton Oratory, he invented a bike with an ingenious 3-part fold. A lightweight vehicle that transformed into a small locked package in under 20 seconds. A bike that you could take anywhere. A ‘magic carpet for the city'. 🚴‍♂️🚴🏼‍♀️🚴🏼

[@marieke4521]

Nice!! I really hope there will be more T-lines available soon…

[@781BromptonPremiumParts]

I really hope so, its very well made Marieke!

[@abcdef-cu7ek]

The T line does give you a dream ride when brand new. But after a few hundred km ride, many t owners experiencing cracking noise from the head set and minor squeaking from the folding points. Seems like these are design faults as Brompton shops seem not be able to fully fix them. For the time being, perhaps P line is the best riding Brompton available until they fix the minor problems of the T line, or wait for the improved version of the T line.

[@781BromptonPremiumParts]

Did you address your concerns with the Brompton Junction? Only one way to find out now, we’ll try ours and see, thanks abc

[@pungutacu2bani.274]

I have chpt 3 v1 and not very different than p line , but olso I have a t line and is totally different than p line and if you add same upgrades you make it exceptional !! There is a KZbin channel and the guy in New York has a t line and it use that bike a lot and haven’t got any problems !! T line I think is the best Brompton folding bike by miles compared with the other Brompton bikes and I own 6 brompton bikes . I don’t own a p line because after my checkings I realise is no point to own one !!

[@781BromptonPremiumParts]

@@pungutacu2bani.274 I dont think it is the case for all the T line, I’m sure its minor compared to what it brings, the all new design in a titanium body is enough to just go for it and proudly own one, we’ll be checking the issue ourselves and post it here in our channel, got chpt3 ver 1 as well and after all the upgrades I am very contented with it, enjoy all your Bromptons!

[@abcdef-cu7ek]

@@pungutacu2bani.274 Glad you enjoy your T line. Its fabulous and can possibly give you a dream ride. Yes. The youtuber guy from NYC, Shu (think that's his name) was giving very positive comments about the T line. But have you checked his recent comments and problems he has? We have never had a chance to ride the chpt3 v1, but we assume the v4, coming out this month is a much closer design as the P line. We have owned over 9 Bromptons in the past 20 years, and we are very happy to see their innovative designs and hope they can have better quality control on their latest design. We will comment more once our V4 arrives.

Thanks Angel, it is hand made by 781!

Hi, do you know why there is no brand on the headset?

[@781BromptonPremiumParts]

The first edition has FSA brand and removed to the later on version which for me is cleaner.

[@mas465190]

Great photography as always. Such a pleasure to watch your videos. A quick question. What is your best guess as to the thickness or the main titanium frame tube walls? 1.5mm or 2mm?

[@indrajitsarkar6112]

Please tell me the price?

[@781BromptonPremiumParts]

You can only find it in Brompton.com website, search for T line

[@abcdef-cu7ek]

Check the following youtube from Original Brompton Advanced Upkeep of Your Brompton T line

I really want to take it but I can't. If anyone can give me the amazon link.

[@crosca82]

Weight is given without the pedals installed.

[@781BromptonPremiumParts]

It is with the pedals - left is in the pedal holder on the fork.

[@helenbenjafield7351]

Similar to the situation with GoCycle,they omit the weight of parts,such as the kickstand,just so that they can claim that it's lighter than it is.

[@noahfarmer9542]

Spent about 500 miles on it and so far so good. kzbin.infoUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA Pros:1. Very light2. Solid quality build3. Fast delivery: It arrived 5 weeks earlier than expected.4. Easy assemblyJust a few cons but nothing major:1. Cheap tin tubes and had flat on first day... but not a big deal. I replaced the tubes.2. Seat is a bit uncomfortable but that's pretty much the same situation with most bikes.3. Seat post is a bit long/high for a smaller size 48 bike - had to saw 2 inch off to fit properly. The lowest setting is too high. The post locking system does not seem to hold well (perhaps because I saw 2 inch off).4. wheels are not tubeless compatible (from what I can tell)

[@781BromptonPremiumParts]

Cool! Thanks for that Noah

The top tube holes do contribute to a real problem. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIiUdJScnNOYZ5I Since Jun 2022 with 2000 km on the mileage.

[@finncarlbomholtsrensen1188]

I have never unpacked a Brompton, as I got my flame painted, black version, SuperlightM6LXBrompton as a finished bike from the shop, and with a long Scandinavian 600 mm seat post as standard! Since then I have rebuilt my bike so it is now down to 9,35 kilo and still with mudguards, and some ways to make it even lighter. It seems not so much above a T-line, with mudguards and only 4 gears, I have seen from films here on KZbin? Finn. Denmark 😄

[@781BromptonPremiumParts]

Hey Finn, good effort making your Flame lacquer even lighter, mudguards are needed as you are in Denmark but you are correct there are thousands of combinations to make our Bromptons even lighter, good luck dude and if you have any suggestions or questions just give us a buzz.

[@finncarlbomholtsrensen1188]

@@781BromptonPremiumParts It has presently reached 8,75 kilo and when I have changed the Heavy Metal Clips on the mudguards to a set of Carbon and Alu, which I have (Titanium stays). carbon handlebar and some extra titanium parts for my brakes, not shifted, I expect to come below < 8,50 kilo and still with mudguards and 6 gears. I also have titanium chainwheels for those, for the outer gears. Finn,. Denmark

[@finncarlbomholtsrensen1188]

Not that much of my original bike is still left and much comes from China, of course.

[@781BromptonPremiumParts]

@@finncarlbomholtsrensen1188 for 6 gears with mudguards that pretty good weight already! If you change the internal gears to external then you will have a significant weight change but 8.5 is not bad man!

[@nh64uk78]

The factory advertised Brompton weight should be 7.9 kilos not 8.15 kilos? I think it's underhand that Brompton are misleading with the weight of the T Line (& other models).

[@781BromptonPremiumParts]

Yeah, that what they claim, my guess is due to the extended seat post?

[@pungutacu2bani.274]

very nice but I think this bike needs same upgrades 😁 , my t line just double the price in 6 months 🤣🤣

[@781BromptonPremiumParts]

Oh yeah @so you know 781 will not settle for stock lol, we feel you when you say double the price lol!

[@billyjames5304]

not 7.95kg？😮

[@781BromptonPremiumParts]

Yes Billy its not 7.95 kg as this has extended seat post that added an extra weight compared to the 530mm tube, got it from NYJ

[@BIKEgang]

What? ... added 2g the frame protector? now punish you to get rid 1kg this week!!!

[@StanStrong108]

😂😂😂but the warranty sticker made up for it

Haha we are proud to put the Minimods frame protector as our 1st upgrade! Brompton missed that small detail.

[@781BromptonPremiumParts]

@@StanStrong108 yeah plus the pedal reflectors are removed!

[@StanStrong108]

@@781BromptonPremiumParts I’m going to do the same. There are so many better options like stick on reflective tape.

There’s also the bottom bracket protector. Plus it’s a good idea to use bike frame protector tape, especially on such an expensive bike. 👍
