Your Brompton, Built Your Way

At Clever Cycles, we’ve spent almost two decades helping people find the perfect Brompton. For many riders, that means going beyond standard models and creating something uniquely their own—whether it’s a performance-focused T Line, a daily-duty C Line, or a travel-ready P Line. Our Brompton Custom Design Studio brings that process to life with a guided, streamlined approach that makes building a custom Brompton clear, enjoyable, and fully supported from start to finish.

Brompton Design Studio Information

When a Custom Build Makes Sense

A custom Brompton is ideal for riders who:

  • Want Specific Gearing for Hills, Distance, or Speed
  • Value Upgraded Components from the Start
  • Have Fit or Comfort Needs That Benefit from Adjusting the Cockpit
  • Prefer a Particular Color or Finish
  • Want a Long-Term, Personalized Build

Need a bike quickly? We also maintain one of the largest in-stock selections of Bromptons anywhere—standard models are often available the same day.

Ready to Start?

You can begin in whichever way suits you best:

  • Take the Quiz — Not sure which Brompton is right for you? Start here to get a model recommendation.
  • Select Your Model — Already know what you want? Choose your model above and begin your build.
  • Book a Design Consultation — Prefer one-on-one guidance? Schedule a session to discuss options, lead times, pricing, or special requests.

Can I change my order after placing a deposit?

Can I change my order after placing a deposit?

Usually not. We can’t stock every color or component, and once coating, special-order parts, or frame prep has started, changes become very limited. If you need to adjust something, reach out right away and we’ll let you know what’s still possible.

Can I test ride before ordering?

Can I test ride before ordering?

Yes. You can try different bars, gearing, saddles, and cockpit setups in-store to help confirm your choices. Not in Portland? It is worth the trip.

Do Brompton Custom Shop bikes have warranty coverage?

Do Brompton Custom Shop bikes have warranty coverage?

Yes.

  • Factory Brompton parts retain their original warranty.
  • Aftermarket components carry the manufacturer’s warranty.

Do I need an appointment?

Do I need an appointment?

Custom build pricing includes one hour of design time.


Most customers never need more than that.
If your project requires additional consultation or hands-on configuration beyond the first hour, we simply bill for the extra time at our standard shop rate. We’ll always check with you before adding time.

How long does a custom build take?

How long does a custom build take?

Typical timeframes:

  • 2–8 weeks for standard builds
  • 4–12weeks for Cerakote or specialty finishes

Exact timelines depend on bike availability, chosen upgrades, finishing, and current workload.
We’ll confirm an accurate estimate before any deposit is taken.

What Brompton models can I customize?

What Brompton models can I customize?

Our Custom Shop currently supports C Line, P Line, T Line, and G Line.


Each platform offers its own strengths:
• C Line — the classic Brompton feel; durable, versatile, everyday-ready
• P Line — lighter, quicker, great for mixed commutes
• T Line — ultra-light, high-performance titanium
• G Line — Brompton’s newest all-terrain option with a robust 8-speed hub

Electric Bromptons can be customized too. Contact us for options.

What all can I customize?

What all can I customize?

Just about everything can be swapped, upgraded, or recolored:


  • Frame and component colors
  • Cerakote or premium finish options
  • Drivetrain (4-, 8-, or 12-speed depending on the line)
    Lighting, including dynamo systems
  • Wheels, Saddles, grips, pedals, and touch points
  • Small hardware, accent colors, and finishing details

    If the tool shows it, we can do it. If it doesn’t show it, ask us.

Where do the Brompton upgrades come from?

Where do the Brompton upgrades come from?

We only offer components from manufacturers we trust. Everything is installed and tested in-house by experienced mechanics. No mystery internet parts, no compatibility gambles.

Will my custom bike fold or ride differently?

Will my custom bike fold or ride differently?

Handlebars, Ergon grips with bar-ends, are a couple that can. Just ask us if you have concerns. The Brompton was successful because the fold is superior and not difficult. We try not to mess with that.

Can I change my order after placing a deposit?

Usually not. We can’t stock every color or component, and once coating, special-order parts, or frame prep has started, changes become very limited. If you need to adjust something, reach out right away and we’ll let you know what’s still possible.
