brompton bicycle has collaborated with british designer tom dixon to develop a prototype copper plated bicycle,
on show as part of london design week 2010. the process involves a base nickel plating to offer a 'key' for the
thin copper layer on top. followed by an electrophoretic lacquer coating of all the frame parts to seal the
copper finish and add further protection from the elements.
