Description

Brompton Bicycle 3rd Edition

Fourth Printing
This is the 4th reprint, and the third edition of ‘Brompton Bicycle’. Yes, it should really have been called the 4th edition.

Fascinating History
The story would be hard to make up. A lone inventor, struggling for years in his bedroom building prototypes. Eventually he produces a world-class folding bike. The idea was to sell the concept to a consumer engineering business. But none were interested. Eventually, Andrew Ritchie was forced to go it alone, starting a company that is now one of the biggest and most successful folding bike manufacturers in the world.

Access to all the Players
‘Brompton Bicycle’ is based on taped interviews with the major players. Ritchie himself, plus his management team, competitors, backers, shareholders and financiers. The first chapters cover the early development of folding bikes and the detailed story of the Brompton. There are also tips and hints for anyone buying or maintaining a new or secondhand Brompton.

New Larger Format
There is so much new information in this 3rd Edition that the book has expanded in size to 224 pages and 165mm x 235mm. All in a very plush silver cover, but at the same price!
