), and I did feel more easily tired sitting in that position. I actually also tried both H and M on Monday, but did not feel that much difference...The staff in the shop strongly opposed my decision of taking an H...... Well, based on the 2mins trial on the bike in the shop, I would think perhaps indeed H is not quite right for me. So in the end, I decided to go for an M, and Ergon grips.

I'm afraid there is a misunderstanding here
I have a Flamingo Oxford bike, (cannot find a pic in this PC), which is black, but it's alike a Brompton, the reach from the saddle to the handlebar is the same as the M type.
But I agree with you, flamingo is a beautiful colour for a bike.

Yes, the flamingo pink is one of my favourite. Unfortunately they don't have this colour anymore....

I agree, but 'upright' i think here means you would sit more straight AND the upper arms should not raise too much to reach the handle bar, right?

H Bike Is the the H riser mast with the M bar, It happens to be, about, the same overal height
bar clamp on the mast to the ground, as the S , mast, but the hinge is 3cm further up.
When compared to the M Mast its 6cm taller ..
the +/- 3 , on either side of the hinge equals 0 so the fold is not really affected.
Seatposts for separate saddle clips are ALL** 7/8" at the top. stepped down from larger size to fit their rame
*NB post #19 is website of a seller in Cal. **[ Schwinn had an odd one, in the past]

I'm afraid it won't fit, may be the black one.(?) If you have the link to the seller * I would ask the size of the seatpost accepted.

"Crystal clear" now 
Once I solve the gears trouble that beats me, I will give a try with the saddle clip. But lowering gears is a big stone for me!
