If I should ever see a titanium Brompton with CF fenders and other bits and then fitted with wooden rims, I think I'd turn to dust.

That looks very interesting and I see it would have v-brakes, a DR mounting and a very different stem set up with eyelets on the fork etc. I wonder how much this would weigh vs a traditional Brompton. Still, would be good to be able to attach the luggage block to the head tube. I would prefer a replaceable DR hangar.

The frame in picture will be around 2.5 kg and $2650. Made in China, and they should be the same supplier of this titanium folder, just a guess.

I got one of their prior Bag support racks that was steel . and added 3 tubes to the base to carry Boxes on It .
3 tubes 9" deep with a boss in the ends and a cross bar , that is screwed into that for the front.
(initially a 3/4 x 1/8 piece of aluminum, cheap to replace when it gets bent) ,
wide enough to be Useful , which I see that is Not.

Just as a warning. Since I upgraded to Ti parts easy wheels and Bikefun mudguard wheel. When parking my bike by just folding the rear wheel. I need to make sure its on even ground or the bike will tend to roll by itself.
Can you feel the different from all the titanium upgrades? I'd consider modifying mine further, but I'm not sure what the most effective first upgrades would be. I'm guessing I'll need to fix my gearing since my six speed is useless in 4 out of the six gears.
