“In societies, we have to find ways to create living experiences that are easier, healthier and more interesting,” shares Will Carleysmith, chief design and engineering officer at Brompton Bicycle.
“The exciting thing at the moment is the opportunity to use new technologies and materials to expand on what we offer and hopefully help make cities better places to live and get more people having more fun.”
Carleysmith joined Brompton as a graduate from university and has been with the firm since. Suffice to say, he’s worked and led the team on many of the bike’s designs.
Among theiconic bike brand‘s latest iterations is a shiny gold-and-black number – an exclusive release in celebration of its 20 years in Asia. Only 85 of these have been made available in Hong Kong andMacau.
Along with steel tubing in gold, customisable M or H handles on 16-inch wheels and a leather Brooks B17 saddle, thebike comes with a numbered serial plate – featuring the bike’s count out of the production number – an owner’s certificate, and a golden tool kit, another exclusive that comes only with the golden edition.
Following their debut of the Asia Gold Edition, we chat with Carleysmith on his creative inspirations as of late.
