Velotto Champion Mini 28-349. Slightly narrower than Kojak 32-349.

Rear: 423gr (-350gr)
So total saving is 1710gr over full steel Brompton, or 1120gr over Ti Brompton.

UFB had cassette and forward/rear derailleurs. Now there are wider rear frame available (135mm spacing) OR custom narrow spacing wheelset so you can build a better replica of UFB (2x11 speed)
