[Palace](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neighborhood-x-palace) works in collaboration with [Brompton](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/p-line-urban-explorer) to present a look at the C Line 2 Speed S Bar Bike. Brompton is the creator of the iconic city bike that is [compact and folds into itself](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mirider-24-gb3) and the newest design follows suit. It is made in a tonal palette of yellow and silver inspired by late-night rides.

There is Palace branding throughout the bike and can be seen along the frame, the saddle, and the laser-etched license plate. Other details include the matching Cordura pouch for function -- it features the Palace Skateboards logo in a reflective finish. This is only available to those who purchase the bike when it launches officially on May 10 and cannot be purchased on its own.
