Brompton is the make under which Brompton Bicycle Limited, a British manufacturer based in Greenford, London, sells its folding bicycles and accessories. The company was founded in 1976 by Andrew Ritchie, who named it after the Brompton Oratory, a London landmark visible from the bedroom workshop where the first prototypes were built. The folding bicycle is its core product, noted for a self-supporting compact size when stored, and the classic models share a hinged frame and a small 16-inch tyre size, with components added, removed or replaced to form the many variations. The modular design has stayed fundamentally unchanged since Ritchie filed the original patent in 1979. Today the maker presents its range as lettered bike lines, the A, C, G, P and T lines, with electric versions of several of them. Brompton is the largest volume bicycle manufacturer in Britain, producing approximately 50,000 bicycles each year.
