I have no idea.



Hi,

Thanks for signing up for our special updates. Over the coming year there are some exciting new developments planned at Brompton HQ and we would like to involve you in one in particular.

Without wishing to go too James Bond, let’s call it ‘Project X’. As you have expressed an interest in this, we plan on giving monthly updates on progress and sneak previews of Project X up until the launch.

In this initial communication, rather than giving information about the product, we would first like to introduce you to the man behind it.



This is Will, he is head of design at Brompton Bicycle. Having joined the company seven years ago he has been involved in a number of key changes, including, but not limited to: the development and introduction of the Superlight package, two handlebar types (S and P) and improvement and expansion of the front luggage range.

Will oversees a team of four designers who, along with Andrew Ritchie, work together to implement improvements to the Brompton. This covers many areas including reducing the weight of the bike and components, increasing the longevity of the product and improving the performance of the bike.

Normally one to speak his mind on a variety of subjects, Will is always very coy about new developments. All he has to say on Project X for now is:

“Progress is going well, we are still in the development stage but each prototype continues to get better and better. What I’m most looking forward to is getting out of the workshop and doing some real world testing in the coming months”.

As soon as Will feels we are in a position to announce more, you will be the first to know.


Kind regards,

An excited Brompton team
