@TM @maynardeames @jj72 Thanks for your replies. Really appreciate the info.
So any frame that could be knackered is obviously a no go. That idea partly came from a discussion with a friend who was working as a welder at Brompton who said he could easily access frame parts with slightly off welds, but that was donkeys years ago and not really an option anymore.
Work doesn't do cyclescheme and my ideal Brompton will be customised anyway so I still think that a frame from 2010 onwards with decent components that I can chop and change is the answer.
Something like this:
