I haven’t seen much representation from taller brompton owners on here, so I wanted to post. I have a 34” inseam and have no problem getting a comfortable fit with the mid rise bars and extended seatpost.

Another taller Bromptoneer here. I use the standard longer post (580mm I think?) And that’s great for sit position, however the one I bought has an M stem and I think I really need the H stem! I prefer to be a bit more upright. Though I do find the riding position is fantastic for working the glutes!!
Great pic! That looks to be the telescopic seat post as opposed to the extended seat post, but it’s a great solution if you’re on the taller side. It’s admittedly a little heavy, but there are upsides too. The height of the folded Brompton can be lower than with the extended seat post (if dropped fully), and you can simply pull out the upper seat post completely for an even more compact fold.
If you put a backpack on a rear rack, you can also easily pull the saddle and upper seat post out, drop the haul loop of your backpack into the lower seat post, and replace the upper seat post, which is a neat and secure solution if you’re bike packing, for instance.
Thanks for sharing!
We’re twins!
