Well, I have such a rack on my Downtube, but.....

Firstly, I'm close to the Brompton weight limit; 10 pounds under. They say you can carry an additional 40 pounds of luggage, but NOT any more weight on the seatpost, which makes this tricky. Same reason I've not gone for a saddlebag. Also, it might not prevent the bike from folding, but it'll make a HUGE difference to the folded size. I'm very hopeful that I can mount it on the standard rack, but if I can't, I'll be looking for a different bag.
