Brompton x Tour de France P Line – The Legend, Folded
The original folding bike meets the greatest race on earth.
For over 50 years, the Brompton folding bike has been a trusted companion for those who move differently – redefining urban mobility around the world. Just like Brompton, the Tour de France has always done things its own way. What began as a bold idea in 1903 is now the most iconic race in cycling, watched by billions across 30 days of intense competition. Grit, glory, and pure emotion unfold on roads and mountain passes lined with passionate fans.
Two worlds, one shared passion.
Brompton and the Tour de France may come from different ends of the cycling spectrum, but they share one belief: the power of the bicycle to transform lives – for anyone, anywhere. Whether you're climbing Alpe d’Huez or cruising through city streets, the feeling is the same. Once you've experienced it, it stays with you. This limited-edition bike celebrates that spirit. For the riders. For the fans.
A Frame That Tells a Story.
This special edition transforms the Brompton folding bike into a moving canvas. The spirit of the Tour is embedded in every detail. Abstracted race-day photography by Pauline Ballet and Charly Lopez wraps around the frame. At first glance, it’s a pattern. Look closer and the stories emerge: cheering fans, national flags, the peloton in motion. You can almost hear the roar of the crowd.
Crafted by Hand. Made in London.
Every frame is hand-built at our London factory, powder-coated, and finished using a cutting-edge sublimation print process. The result is a sleek, lightweight, and durable surface – resistant to UV, dirt, and rain.
How it's done:
-
Tour de France images are printed onto thermoforming film using specialist inks.
-
The film is vacuum-formed around the frame.
-
The frame is placed in a custom-built oven and precisely heated.
-
Heat and pressure ensure the design bonds deeply to the frame.
-
Once cooled, the film is removed – revealing the finished masterpiece.
