The standard colours for the L-type are red, black or green.

Gears:

3-speed
The highly efficient Sram 3-speed hub, proven over many decades, has a gear change, which could not be simpler. For many users the three well-chosen ratios are fine, ideal for general use and about town.

6-speed
A second sprocket on the rear hub serves to give six evenly spaced gears with a range of 213%. The unique derailleur mechanism, designed and made by Brompton, is compact and doesn't affect folding. Changing gear is easy. For both triggers up gives a higher gear, and down a lower gear. Maintenance is minimal (though the changer may need cleaning after a muddy ride). With its very low transmission losses, this multi-gear system is the right choice both for touring and for riding in hilly areas.
