YGWYPF,...sad man you must be. Enjoy your English lesson.
And here's a link to the above mentioned Joseph Kuosac Handlebar

Here's a different approach. I am best with a shaking hand position as opposed to the usual palm down flat bar position on Bromptons. These bars are low, but since they are farther back i can still sit upright, although I can lean forward when there is a headwind. That is a S type and the bar folds fine. The longer bars, over padded Ergons and the hand position result in a lot less vibration from rough roads and less hand numbness.

Thanks, rode it some 20 miles a few days ago with no hand probs at all. When I have a couple of idle hours I will install some Dia Compe road brake levers with the little thing that flips out to act as a quick release. I have always wished the Brompton sidepulls had one to aid in fixing flats etc.

I am planning an bar and trans upgrade of my S2L.
Can't seem to find actual stem and bar dimensions despite FITESBOB's great discussions.
Got total bar heights and stem angles , NP. Height of stem and bar rise, no.
Bars and stems have rise and set back dimensions that are harder to get than tax returns
I snagged an AlloHaber stem riser to play with and use to test dimensioning the cockpit
and I am surprised that the standard seatpost seems an inch short for my 32" inseam reach,
though I may be able to squeeze another 3/4"out of the seat clamp.
Love the Patria discussion on ergonomics and fit
