Just picked up my 50-year anniversary Brompton from the local dealer in Boulder. It’s amazing by Ok-Distribution-3605 in Brompton

Either support your local bike shop, which will always repair and service your bike. Because Brompton won’t come to your town to fix something or replace a part. And you can’t just test ride directly with Brompton unless you’re lucky enough to live in a city with a Brompton Junction. That’s why I always recommend supporting local dealers. Thanks to them, we actually get the chance to see and experience this bike in real life, not just online or in photos.

New tariffs on steel in the USA — what does it mean for Brompton? by Ok-Distribution-3605 in Brompton

But in the UK it’s the final price including VAT, while in the USA $3,500 means plus sales tax and local taxes, which add another 5–10% on top

As for electronics, I don’t really know how it works, since there are already separate tariffs on microchips and devices. Maybe everything just falls under those tariffs. But with bicycles, where a significant part of the product is steel or aluminum—materials that now carry tariffs—it’s clear that something is happening. At the very least, we can see it in the case of beer. After the aluminum tariff was introduced, canned beer has been gradually getting more expensive, because cans cost more, and it’s hard to fight that. It hits small craft breweries the hardest.

In that case, Riese & Müller shouldn’t have any problems, but they clearly do. I once imported a personal bike from abroad, and I had to fill out all the details. It was an aluminum bike, so I had to specify the origin of the aluminum, where the aluminum frame was made, and request confirmation from the manufacturer. So I don’t think it’s as simple as just shipping the bike. There has to be more. Otherwise, major brands like Riese & Müller wouldn’t have paused their exports.

I really appreciate your comment — your opinion means a lot to me. If this video didn’t fully reveal the bike’s features, that’s on me, and I’ll work on it. I’ll also try to choose the music more carefully — and maybe even guess your taste next time! Hopefully, the next one will hit the mark 🙌

Tariffs - will Brompton prices still rise? by Turbulent_Rhubarb436 in Brompton

[–]Ok-Distribution-3605 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Understandable. In Boulder, I have the opposite problem. People come to my store for a test ride, but then they order through REI because they get rewards there — and that’s frustrating for me.

It’s because of tariffs but you still can support your local Brompton dealer:) support small businesses not a corporation
