Interesting and sad you had to ask this.
In fact I tried all the folding bikes in two bicycle shops, but they failed at the first hurdle, the fold. If they didn't fold to the same size as the Brompton, they weren't going to fit in the cupboard where they would be kept, and none did. In fact, some when folded weren't that much smaller than a few of the normal bikes in the shop, which led me to wonder what purpose they were meant to serve. I'd almost given up when one shop owner showed me a picture of a folder that looked like it filled the bill ...
Don't ask me what brands, by the way. Some were Dahons I think, others might have been produced locally.
