A Visit to the Mason Cycles Barn: Celebrating 10 Years of Progress

It’s been 10 years since Mason Cycles first caused a splash in the UK cycling market with the release of their original Definition and Resolution road bikes. They have since built a reputation for blending progressive riding technologies with classically beautiful aesthetics, now offering a full range of bikes designed for the whole spectrum of on- and off-road terrain. Joe Sasada sat down with founder and designer Dom Mason to discuss the journey so far, design philosophy, and what’s coming next for the brand. Read on for an extended interview and a photo gallery from Mason HQ.

The All-New Brompton G Line: First Ride Review

The G Line is the first Brompton to ride like a full-size bike across multiple types of terrain—from the city to gravel tracks and beyond.

This line of Brompton features new geometry, 20” wheels fitted with custom-made Schwalbe tires, hydraulic disc brakes, and an internally geared Shimano 8-speed hub.

Petor Georgallou got his hands on a new G Line ahead of today’s launch and, today, offers all the details of the versatile folding bike. Check it out below!
