Brompton Pro Build

A Free Upgrade Worth $150

Factory builds stop at “good enough.” Upgrade at no extra cost. Our Pro Build adds expert inspection, precise adjustments, and a real-world test ride — normally a $150 value, included free. Plus, free shipping on all Brompton models.

Because of the added care, Pro Build bikes may take up to five extra business days to ship. We believe the difference is well worth the wait.

Compare to Factory Build

The Brompton Factory Build is assembled and quality-checked in London, then shipped in a standard carton. It is the fastest way to receive your bike, but it does not include the detailed prep, second mechanic check, test ride, or accessory installation that come with a Pro Build.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Pro Build delay shipping?

Yes. Pro Builds may add up to five business days before your bike ships, depending on workload.

Is Pro Build really free?

Yes. The same $150 service performed for in-store customers is included at no extra cost with every Brompton order.

Can you install accessories before shipping?

Yes. Add racks, lights, fenders, or bags at checkout and they’ll be installed as part of the Pro Build.

What if I want the fastest possible delivery?

Choose the Factory Build option at checkout for same-day shipment direct from Brompton’s London factory. It arrives quickly, but without the added checks and adjustments of a Pro Build.
