- After months of consideration, test ride and checking online reviews, today I bought my LAST/FINAL bicycle (Brompton C line Mid bar Explore in matt black). I was so excited and can't hold my camera phone properly result in a bit shaky footages. Would like to share this video to my TH-cam friends who love Brompton/foldable bikes.
Love the fact that your videos are more than just about bycicles but more about friendship and family. Hope to ride with you when I visit Singapore and take my Brompton with me.
Welcome to Singapore 🤗
Brompton seems to be the Rolls Royce of Bikes.
Very satisfying seeing you getting you new Brompton. Hope you have many years of fun and enjoyment riding it. Cheers 👍
Great video. And brilliant choice of bike.
thanks.
Mine is arriving today, I can't wait 😄
Great video, I was imagining that I was you buying my first Brompton. That must have been very exciting for you and choosing the extra parts. Saving my money for my Brompton soon. Thanks
Thanks for watching my video 😊
Champion to bike change contest😂 All-you-can-eat videos rocks 👍
i like to test ride different types of bikes, test ride at the shop the most 1hr, so i always bought it home. Can't afford a car at least i can buy many bikes.
Wow finally a Brompton! Welcome to the club. 🤣Last bike for year 2022. Year 2023 will be a new year for more bikes to come.
Bought more than 70 bikes in the past 37yrs. This year alone already bought 5 bikes (check out my 5 unboxing videos this year 🤪). No more buying in 2023 onwards ...
@@GIBSONGASPER123 Yup, enjoy watching all your unboxing video! 👍Looking forward for year 2023 for you to unboxing Birdy, Brompton T-line 🤣
@@samwong5045 Now birdy got 20% discount but i don't like the design. Test ride my friend's $9k plus birdy, very good.
@@GIBSONGASPER123 Looking forward for your next video at Brompton Junction and test ride the T-Line around Sg river side. Should be fun! 👍
@@samwong5045 retired no more work, cannot keep on spending on bikes. No more buying 😁
Yes welcome to the club Mr Liow 🎉
Excellent video 👍 I wanted to remove my Brompton decal too, but i ended up just covering up.
Thank you for watching my video 😊
Mr Liow: "i promise everyone this is really my last bicycle . . . . . . . . . for this week."
No more buying. Already bought 5 bikes in 2022🤭🤫
@@GIBSONGASPER123 selll sell sell to buy more
@@josephd9079 no more 💰🤣
I struggle to understand y u buy so many bikes. U only need 2 bikes. With all the money u wasted on those cheap bikes, just get a Brompton T line (8k) and a Pinarello dogma F road bike (20k)
@@sks82511 All bikes got their pros & cons and I like to tries out different types of bikes: Road bike, mtb, bifold, trifold, big wheel, small wheel , cheap or expensive bikes etc and i don't constrain myself with Brompton or any other bikes. No need to understand me, understand yourself more important😊
Mr Liow, everytime say last but still got new unboxing video for new bike..haha...buy more brompton loh p line next
Already bought 7 bikes this year, wife start to make noise🥴
@@GIBSONGASPER123 women everytime make noise 🤣
Nway love ur videos
Congratulations on your new Brompton. 👍🏻
thank you 😊
Great choice! No regrets. 😊
Thanks 😊
im actually afraid that this would be your last last bike. this would rob me of so much fun watching your bike shopping videos 🥲
Already bought brompton and many other brands/types of bikes (some bought 25yrs ago so no unboxing video). What else to buy?🤣
@@GIBSONGASPER123 Maybe Road bike next round. 🤪😅😅
@@edwinpks usually i bought 2 bikes per year. So more than 70 bikes for the past 37yrs. Bought mountain bike/road bike and unicycle in the 90s🤫 no point buying back the same thing🤭
@@GIBSONGASPER123 Oic. 😊 Okok enjoy your ride then 👍🏻
@@edwinpks thank you for watching my videos 😊
As an owner of the former Top version (Till the new titanium bike) 2019 SuperlightM6LXBrompton I have had much fun in modifying my bike to an even lighter version. As a Dane I have got one with mudguards but I have changed parts to carbon and titanium for a lighter weight, for now 9,35 kilo, and I have a carbon handlebar + parts to be changed on my brakes and mudguards. Mudguard clamps to carbon and holders from alu, which will give, I hope, the next 0,5 kilo, also with some extra rest titanium bolts for my brakes, to be changed. A little down to the pure Titanium models 7,45 kilo, but + two mudguards and with only 4 gears, not that much. Finn. Denmark
Thanks for sharing. Titanium and carbon are super lightweight but will crack if not careful especially use it on trifold bikes. For racing bike competition, carbon fiber is a good choice with sponsorship and only used once. For personal use bike chromoly 4130 steel is more lasting and safer to use in trifold bikes. th-cam.com/video/Cb44KIpWsyg/w-d-xo.html&feature=share
@@GIBSONGASPER123 As an old man I sold my extreme 6,8 kg LOOK carbon racing bike, with a full, old timer, 9 speed Shimano Dura-Ace, after many years of hard use! A carbon bike will last if treated right! I would like to change my Brompton frame to a titanium version, but it is very expensive, and most produced til now, isn't up to my 100 kg, except if bought from Russia, and no one deals with Russia any more!!! 😁
Very nice C Line Mr Liow!
All Brompton are nice, good for riding and display.
Dear Mr Liow, if u can, get rid of the fanny pack and buy a front block bag then u’ll be a cool uncle. Welcome to the Brompton club!
Hi, thanks.
thank you👍
I hope you were just joking by insisting to remove the Brompton sticker. If you find the sticker is too “loud”, might as well change to the black/dark colour sticker which Brompton dealers should have one. Anyway, congrats on your new Brompton and many memories will come along with it.
Thanks for your suggestion 👍👍👍. Actually I always removing the bike sticker (you check my 3Sixty and Monza bmx videos). I just want to have a simple/clean bicycle frame.
Finally
Ride in good health
thank you 😊
Mr Liow, can you do a video on how and where you store your bicycles? So many of them😃
I always clear one before buying one. Those not suit me will either sell half price or give away. I only left 3 bicycles: 24 inch BMX outside my house, mini velo inside my bedroom and Brompton in the storage cabinet.
Bro you should try the P line also ,nice welcome to the Brompton world that the best folding bike in the world congrats you make the right choice nothing can compare
There are many bi- folds and birdys and. (Trifold with front suspension) that are better
@@ohmingfeng9351 You're right. I have bought/used many bifold/trifold/ cannot fold bikes. This will be my last bike so i want something more compact.
@@ohmingfeng9351 lol. This argument again. If you're going for folding bikes, the best fold is of course the Brompton. If you're going for speed then road bikes are the way to go. Bifolds and birdys are like in the middle of these. Kinda like not 3 not 4.
@@IsaacPhoon I do not agree..birdy has better ride quality but fold like a car crash, brompton fold better but hate the small wheel ride quality.. depend on what u value more, both have merits and con.
@@IsaacPhoon off brand trifolds are better overall.
May i check without rack, easy to wheel around on train or uneven ground? When folded does it topple easily.
For me, it’s easier to use only two wheel (easy to turn/change direction while pushing it). Will be quite stable when folded if installed the roller extension.
Mr Liow I like watch your channel whenever you buy new bike sure change many parts lately I saw you buy Brompton 👍 also upgraded recently saw you brought your sister to purchase another Brompton I also notice your sister purchase the front Bag very nice colour how much you pay for it .
that DISRUPT Special Edition Borough ? $195 after some discount.
@@GIBSONGASPER123 Thank you so much I will like to buy one for my wife Christmas present 🎁 actually the first video I saw you bought the 3 sixty from Liaoge so I went down to purchase the 3 sixty , but after viewing the Brompton video , I finally decided to buy one Brompton but it’s true that so much different from the 3 sixty I really enjoyed riding my Brompton bike 🤣👍
@@andrewng265 If not wrong the bag cost $260 before discount, the boss given us 25% as their 11:11 promotion. Now maybe promotion over but hopefully you can get the same price. 3sixty are cheaper good bike and brompton are high end good bike. Both are similar so before i buy Brompton, i bought a 3sixty to get used to trifold bike. Thanks for watching my videos.
Ive own few bromptons..
Honestly if u not after the brand name brompton,
Aceoffix still the best deal for now..
Cheap , lightweight. And nothing much to upgrade.
Down side for me is only the folding not as smooth as B..
All bikes got the pros and cons. Just want to try different bikes.
dont bluff leh, my aceoffix spare parts change until not a aceoffix, it become brompton, now almost left frame is aceoffix, the rest either H&H and brompton. Aceoffix spare parts all super lousy and spoilt easily.
@@printhardcopy I also heard the from other Aceoffix users that it is a problematics bike.
Nice bike, am surprised that the minoura kickstand could fit nicely. Most videos of the kickstand show it doesnt work. Maybe this is a new model?
Yes. $95
Love the video, apart from the music, can I say would have been much better it you had talking and not music,just my opinion.
Hi mr liow, love ur channel. Any idea how much u paid for ur 24" monza bmx?
S$800 ( last piece "old" new stock) the boss given me special offer.
I like your video 🥰
thank you for watching my video 😊
love your videos man
Thanks. This video not up to my expectations as i record/edited it in a hurry (to upload on the same day)
What camera do you use to shoot this video?
@@alfredlim5535 Iphone 13Pro. Quality not that good under low light and when using front camera.
@@GIBSONGASPER123 nice video, well done despite the short turn around time. Is there a handheld stabiliser unit that you're using?
@@alfredlim5535 No, my hands are the stabiliser. I have been making video since 1997. Still learning.
一早買部正牌子呀，好過買國布浪费錢
我想尝试不一样的脚车，各有好与坏。
Been watching your video since the time your son bought his 3sixty. Any difference in ride quality comparing Brompton vs 3Sixty and 4-speed external vs 3-speed internal?
My Brompton is 6 speed. 4 speed 3Sixty more comfortable, lighter and faster . Brompton good for constant speed with nice hub sound and smooth folding.
@@GIBSONGASPER123 I enjoyed watching your previous 3sixty upgrades and repeated it 3 to 4 times. I look forward to your Brompton upgrade videos
@@Andrew-uh9xs My 3sixty got two "upgrade videos". On the purchase date i upgraded the parts. 2 weeks later upgraded to 4speed. Brompton already upgraded the rolling wheel plus extender, kickstand, lighter/smaller pedals and headlight with mounting. Other accessories such as handlebar grips and saddle will buy online.
@@GIBSONGASPER123 Any plans to upgrade to 52T hollowtech like your previous 3sixty? I saw another of your video where your brother-in-law upgraded his superlight to titanium seatpost and handlebar, H&H suspension block and aluminum front block, these are very good upgrades IMO. I'm currently using the Schwalbe One tyres which completely changed the whole feel of the ride
@@Andrew-uh9xs no intention to upgrade the crank/chainring as 50 to 52t not much different. 50t is sufficient for me, brompton wide ratio hub gear +2 the speed is good enough. I upgraded 3Sixty because the original chainring only 48t, so I changed it to 52t.
Hi, I wish to let go one of my Brompton M6R, anyone interested?
how much you letting go ?
I dont think it would devalue your bicycle~ i have also removed my brompton sticker. As long as you dont remove your brompton ‘licence plate’ at the back of your bike
My friend wants me to keep it just in case he want to take over my bike in future. Without sticker , frame will looks more simple/neat.
Hi Mr liow. Im thomas. Congratulations. At last you own a Brompton. Is this the latest design? Please may I ask what is the cost price for this bike before upgrade. Thank you.
Hi Thomas , I'm new to brompton not sure is it the latest design but production in 2022. Bought $2800. thanks.
@@GIBSONGASPER123 hi liow. Glad to hear from you. I'm looking forward to getting trifold bike. Do you think I should start with lioage666. For Brompton is Something like a Rolex to me. Starting to saves now. Hear you soon. All the best.
@@thomaschew5012 Buy the bike that you can afford (too expensive you will feel stressful when using it: worry bike drop or knock onto something etc)and buy the one suit you (portable to carry into public transport, house storage space, the weight etc). Liaoge666 $666 is value for money. Hard to find trifold bike with that price. Go and test it and good luck on your purchase 😊 note: Brompton next year price increase.
Liow how much you buy with part
You know brompton trifold bike very expensive in the world
Got 5/W you are rich man
Singaporean rich people
Think very high levels
You are TH-cam boss
Bike $2800 , after upgrades total: $3475. I can't afford to buy a car so i buying bikes instead. I'm not a pro youtuber who makes videos to earn money (that's why i no need to ask the viewers to like, share or subscribe my channel) i spent money to make videos as a hobby.
sure a not Mr Liow last" :) wah cycle oxygen ex ah . Sell bah after you try and get a full Titanium bicycle Mr Liow :) enjoy your brompton
Haha! last + final bike.😂
Last bike in 2022.
More bikes will come in 2023.
🤣No more buying because i have bought most of the bikes (big wheel , small wheel, single wheel, bifold, trifold, cannot fold , monkey bike etc). Left Birdy but i don't like the design.
Hello Liow, hope to see your review on Brompton C line VS 3sixty trifold as I am planning to get one to start my cycling exercise ( Garcia Ventio/ Royale cabon GT9 / liaoge 451) and my friends have been motivate me to go straight to Brompton C Line explorer. I am holding purchasing until I clear my mind which to purchase .
Depending on your budget and do you need a small folding bike to carry to public transport or for limited storage space. 3Sixty more comfortable than brompton and cheaper. Brompton is well made with good parts and branded. liaoge 451 is very fast , lighter than 3sixty/brompton and value for money bike. If you no need small folding size go for $780 451 which is more stable and fast. Note: liaoge 451 with hydraulic disc brakes 👍
Hi Raymond , do note 3sixty , Pikes, Royale and Garcia all the rear triangle cannot upgrade to titanium as it only 59mm . Only Aceoffix is 79mm (same as brompton) So i bought an aceoffix so if i have $$ next time can upgrade titanium parts to make bicycle lighter. just for sharing :)
good
☕️👌👍
Hi Mr Liow, what is the price of the stock brompton, and the total price after the parts upgrade?
AD shop all standard price for the bike $2800. After upgraded $3425.
@@GIBSONGASPER123 Thank you
Are u still looking for 3 gear brompton? Think there's stock for A line at 808 cycles.
I'm looking for C line 3 speed. A line the wheelset not double wall and chainring only 44T instead of 50T.
How is the ride feel vs 3sixty?
Is the frame more stiff?
Must ride long distance and uneven road/upslopes/ downslopes than will see the difference. Brompton workmanship is better.
Mr Liow, I guess this is your last bicycle for this 2022 😂 get a Birdy in 2023 quota.
i don't like the birdy design although now the price with 20% discount.
Which bike is the best for you so far?
My 1 year old custom made Velo Orange Neutrino. I'm going to convert it into a Single speed and change to slimmer tyres soon.
how much did this cost in US dollars ?
The Explore model of the Brompton C Line usually costs around $1,800 USD. I just bought one at a local shop.
Can trade in Pikes?
hi! how much is the easy wheel extender?
S$365 including the two wheels.
It seems Brompton bikes are really popular in Singapore.
Good size for storage, nice looking for display and branded. If talk about comfort and ride quality, 406 & 451 or full size wheel bikes are better. All bikes have their pros and cons.
How do you compare ride experience between 3sixty and c line brompton?
3Sixty no wide ratio gear hub. Not as fast as brompton. Both are 349 trifold bike not much difference in ride quality (both needs to change better handlebar grips, saddle). Build quality Brompton is better. Riding 3Sixty for daily commute is stress free (no need to worry scratches, stolen).
hi can i check is it easy to push without the rack
@@heywadever without rack will be lighter weight and 2 wheels is easier to change directions than 4 wheels on the ground.
You eventually still buy Brompton. Like i tell everyone, buy Brompton buy 1 time, buy others buy many times.
I believe many brompton die-hard fans will go through this process:
1. Buy a C-line brompton
2. Upgrade the brompton with good-to-have parts (wheel extender, lights, qr pedals, ez wheels, kickstand, suspension block)
3. Upgrade the brompton further with nice-to-have parts (titantium parts)
4. Buy a P-line brompton
5. Repeat the above process
@@Andrew-uh9xs you have missed out the T-line
Anyway is your friend Sam a former driving instructor , look like my ex colleague ..
He ever worked at Comfort driving center.
Uncle is very rich 😅
🤣If i rich, i will buy a BMW instead.
A few months later, when yr backside is itchy again, yr last bike will be Brompton T line or Helix bike haha ...
Helix full titanium bike👍 Buy can't get it from any bike shop.
I should have not watch this video. Now kena poison by you Mr Liow. If quote you, will the boss gives discount?
AD shop bike are the same price. No discount. Accessories more or less can get some discount🤭
You sold your 3sixty?
yes, "half give half sell" to my relative a week ago. Before buying new bike, i will clear the older one.
$2k -3k could get ebike alrdy … 😅
Anyways u earn urself a new sub. Uncle leow
Singapore E-bike needs to register and only can ride on the road or bicycle path (footpath cannot use) and have to charge the battery. Too troublesome for me. Btw, i bought many e-scooters & kick scooters few years ago. Thanks for watching my video. So far i never ask viewers to subscribe, like or share my videos but thanks for subscribing 😊
U sure boh last? 😅
This time more sure🤫
stop reading at "last bike"
Haha！ this will be my final bike. No more buying :)
I consider a Road bike if I were you
25yrs ago i bought many road bikes. Small house too bulky to keep 2-3 road bike at home.
