Bikes: Brompton, Dahon Vitesse D5

I'd be satisfied with Brompton merely improving the ergonomics and rigidity of the bike, plus improving stock components such as brake levers. Which are very badly designed and un-ergonomic. There's a distinct lack of design in a lot of areas (despite the core design being 30 years old). The head tube/stem area needs improving with regards to flex. Also the upsweep of the M bar is needlessly extreme and the space available for grip/levers/shifters too small. Though that could largely be fixed with a brake lever redesign. The brake lever / M bar combination is somewhat absurd in design terms.
