Post review thoughts:
Brompton said to not worry about rain water in the main frame. See their explanation in comments.

The pedal has a hex on the end. Very slightly twist the axle (not the pedal) as it goes in, the hex will line up and the magnet pulls it in from there.

Brompton said that the Axle length in the P and T line is the same as the C Line.
This doesn't mean you can switch the external 4 gear hub wheel to the C line because it has a special hanger on the new frame for the derailleur.

There are reports that the handle bar doesn't clip in as well as the original steel frame Brompton. As you saw in my video the handle bar bounces back out if you push it down too hard.

The first 500 users will be asked for feedback, which will be to applied to the next batch and the current batch. The term "Beta Users" was created by me.

There support line will answer your questions even if you don't own a Brompton bike. It's amazing!

   • Before You Buy a Brompton T-Line. Tit...   - the words "Rain Water" was covered by subtitles text.

The circumference of the Ti top tube is 17cm vs 14cm of the steel tube eg it's got a larger diameter so the tool kit will fit in there but it will slide to the back. You can certainly plug the top tube ie insert a rain cover or bag

I'll put an Endoscope into the top tube of the brompton T-line in the next video.
