choosing handlebars
My wife and I have inherited a couple of used Bromptons. We'd like to replace the straight handlebars with "M" bars. Brompton makes a low-rise and a high-rise bar. Would either of these complicate or interfere with the folding of the bikes? Do you advise against either of them for any reason? Thanks for the help.

NB: the bar mast is different on M model than S*, and that is available but expensive..
Otherwise, you will have the left end of an M bar below ground level when its folded down,
* there is the H too, and the P mast and bar combination also, each is some what different.
