We reopened as a Brompton-only shop on April Fool’s Day 2022, and worried whether it could work.
Well, all the signs continue to point upward, with both rawking old customers and brand, shiny new people coming into our compact space just west of Rittenhouse Row to try and to buy the world’s best folder bikes. THANK YOU ALL for taking the time to shop in actual reality instead of the virtual mall that the powers-that-been think we should be spend a life sentence locked into.
YES, we are taking a winter break from Xmas through Jan. 3, and then back at it on Jan. 4, 2023.
IF YOU REALLY REALLY NEED A BROMPTON REPAIR before then, we might be able to meet up at the shop by appointment. Send us an email (info -at- trophybikes -dot-com) and we try our best to arrange it.
