Brampton

Anyone know about the Brampton company? I know they made parts, what sort of parts? Did they make whole bikes also? Etc. Etc.

They make falding bikes for commuters.

I had a pair of Brampton steel road pedals in the mid 60s. These probably dated from the late 50s. Not as good as Campag as they did not have the little tab on the underside of the cage so you could flick the pedal to put your shoe into the toeclip and strap.

Have you googled Brampton

I've found brief mentions, no details, heard they made saddles at one time.

I found this reference to Brampton bottom brackets and headsets.

I remember Temple books (they were the publishers) which had various adverts for components. You could have a look at these or try websites specialising in vintage bike stuff.

And here are my Brampton B8 pedals:

You'll have to scroll right using the arrow above the pictures.

They have them as 1940s but they almost certainly carried on with a similar model to the 50s/60s

Perhaps you need to practice your Googling skills as it did not take that long to find these links
