One day I'll actually work out what the optimum height is for my Brompfication titanium post (it doesn't have the flared end like the real Brompton one so it has no end stop), chop it to the right length and make up a stop for the end of the seat post. It's been something I've been meaning to do for a long, long time and never got round to. The lack of an end stop means I do occasionally unfold the bike, hop on, and then wince as I discover the saddle's about 2 inches higher than it should be. The curse of short legs...
Brommers-
Haha, sorry to hear about your short legs. I was utterly confused this morning as my knees kept complaining that the saddle was too low, despite me raising the telescopic bit at every set of lights. I'm ashamed to say it took me 9 miles to realise the outer bit was slowly sinking...

I'm the luckiest person alive because the extended seatpost stop exactly where I need it to be.
So satisfying.
(To be fair, I did move the saddle clamp a little to compensate).

Hmm, well at the moment I've got about 5 inches of telescopic post poking up. My one Brompton commute has made me think I'll probably just leave the telescopic inner bit at the right height and drop the outer bit, then just extend the outer to the max when I want to ride it. That should save buggering about getting it at the right height and I can't see anyone complaining because the saddle's sticking up a few inches. I'll measure it and work out if a longer ti one would do the trick.
Got an inch or so to play with (as it were) by flipping the saddle clamp.
