C Line

Original design refined for modern cities

The original design with the 3-part fold, hand-made in our London factory since 1975. Compact, robust - a serious folding bike that’s fun to ride. Although C Line is built to stand up to the rigours of everyday city life, owners have taken them on round-the-world trips, country tours, and even to the South Pole. But mostly they are used in cities 364 days a year (we recommend a day off for an annual service).

C Line

Over 40-years refinement

Although continuously enhanced, the basic concept of the classic all-steel bike has remained the same – a solid city rider that folds down small. Every change, since the start, has offered genuine benefits to our owners. It's never been about trends. Today, with its refined geometry and improved parts, not only does the bike ride and fold better than ever but the quality is better too. Specialists, such as our steel brazers and wheel builders, focus their expertise on one area - crafting the best bike possible.
