The extra weight can actually make it handle a little better I've found, a little less twitchy.
I looked at the City Folder about 4 years ago when I got my Brompton and it wasn't the same quality as other Carradice stuff. Went for the C bag which is good (overpriced I think but there aren't any better, cheaper options). Not sure if it's changed since then but I'd find a shop stocking it and have a look before committing.
New topic - as much as I cry foul of the Brompton specific carrier system. I think I am going to have to buy into it. I need to carry my laptop and accessories, and a change of clothes easily. Looking at the C-bag. How is handling effected with such weight on the front, it is quite still nimble? The other bag I quite like the look of is the Carridice City Folder - any users/owners with opinions to share?
