And you, who posts in threads asking for assistance, giving half advice and telling people to "go and Google it", apparently can't seem to find the necessary ability within yourself to correctly assist others. Is your day that boring? Are you just trying to aggrivate others? I've seen where you've posted fantastic advice, but have this quirk about making others work for it. And calling people lazy? They're on this forum to GET HELP, not rude half responses.

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
