Brompton Luggage - piece by piece


Brompton make a nice range of luggage to make lugging your stuff about town easier (if you are riding a Brompton)

The starting point is what is nicely known as a front carrier block assembly (Brompton part number QFCBA). This is needed in order to be able to attach your Brompton front bag to your beautiful Brompton folding bike.

The front carrier block attaches to the front of the main frame and because of this allows you to carry the bag with little effect on steering.

The following YouTube video shows how the front carrier block is fitted (click here).

Once the front carrier block is installed, you get to choose which piece of Brompton luggage you would like to use for carrying your stuff (unless you have a S-type Brompton - the one with the straight across handlebars - in which case you are limited to the S-Bag). We'll discuss the different bag and basket options very soon - see you then........
