I didn't want to start a new thread so I felt my question would fit here: I am currently shopping a 2019 Brompton and prefer the S bar model; however, my LBS mainly stocks M bar models (I assume they are more popular). I do not want to commit to a special order so I am exploring different options driven by comfort, convenience, and resale. Judging by the pictures above, an M stem + low rise bar would yield a height close to the S model and in my opinion look much better than the S or M bars. Has anyone swapped the handlebar on their M model to a low rise bar without changing the cables? I can't see how a little extra slack will impact the fold, but that is why I'm asking the question.
