Unless your legs are short for your height you are going to need to look at 20" wheeled bikes and possibly need to add a thudbuster or swap the seat post out to get the leg extension you need. I am 6'-2" with long legs and have had a few issues with the new generation of folders fitting outside of the Brompton. FWIW I quite often ride a Raleigh Twenty with a modern seat post.
