).I would actually be considering buying one if I didn't already have 2 bikes lined up in my sights.

The weight are still on the steering and with 16 inch wheels any potholing with too much weight or Bouncing, your going over headfirst. Get a side mounting messenger bag, and the weight yo the back where it's safe.

it's not good to have weight on your steering, and I wouldn't have any on my bikes.
My Bike Friday Has a front Pannier rack on the front Wheel fork , Its fine too.
NB: the bag shown is a Mini Ortlieb, its just a Handlebar Bag , not carrying Bowling Balls ..

That is the beauty of Brompton front bag system, the load is on the frame instead of steering handlebar (Klickfix?) Only if they have better front racks or bags with more reasonable price.
