So what fits the Brompton frame?

Also, I'm eyeballing a lighter crankset, just not sure if there's an affordable version that's lighter than the bromptons...
I heard, hollowtech is affordable, but how to determine, which bottom bracket fits brompton AND fits with light cranksets?

Quite a complex topic I'm realizing...

Anyone who can open my eyes
