The point that I have not made as yet is:-
Although the Merc chassis is lighter, the Merc forks & rear triangle are far heavier than the Brompton equivalents, thus you need a Merc middle bit and Brompton Ti sticky out bits!
Then you put the heavy Merc bits onto the heavy Brompton bits, find someone really obnoxious to sell the leviathon to!!!!!!!!!!!!!
