Brompton water bottle cage
Bought a good water bottle cage carrier combo over the weekend. I haven't tried it with a full water bottle yet, but the setup does not wiggle/rotate.
This is a Giant brand handlebar cage clip. $6 from LBS.
To that, I have mounted a Novara brand water bottle cage that matches my raw lacquer quite well! I forget, but I think it was $12 from the store that sells the Novara brand (in case I'm not allowed to name it in the forums).

I haven't had a chance to ride with it. However, during my search/research for Brompton water bottle cage locations, this was my first choice of location. Second choice was steering mast.
I found my C bag pocket to be too low for me...my Mini O-bag doesn't have a pocket. I wanted an "always accessible" location. Hopefully, this works when I'm actually riding.

the mini O is based on their handlebar bag so it wouldn't have the space on the back the Big O bag does ..
the Larger external add on pocket I got for my O bag has room for a Liter bottle , inside .
A store bought bottle of water, if you wish .
the small add on ones will take a short half liter.
add on pockets bought separately come with the mounting hardware
and perhaps you can fix them to the side of the mini O bag
there is an add on bottle cage as well as the pockets..
and have the bottle cage on the bag and not the bike, so the fold is unchanged.
