A few years ago Brompton took the decision to discontinue orange as a colour you could choose to have your Brompton in. At the time I raised an eyebrow to this and could never quite understand their logic. Several months later orange was back as a 'Special Edition' and yours truly bought one. More recently there has also been the introduction of 'Flame Lacquer' that I absolutely love.
I do wonder when Brompton will bring back the option to have a Brompton in yellow? It too has been discontinued and not even available as a special edition. I have a friend who would be very please if they did.
So, if you are in the market for a new Brompton, orange could be a option for your shopping list. Just remember though, there is only one Mr Orange!
Damn skippy - there is only one Mr. Orange mate :)
ReplyDeleteWow, this is my bike! Reading your blog, I've learned a lot. Now I've learned the color (colour) of my bike! My wife chose it for me and I couldn't be more happy with the color! Signal Orange!
ReplyDeleteIf your wife choose Orange, she's a keeper!
