Just wondering, really - I like the idea of the corrosion resistance, but as bike+rider are north of 100 kg the weight savings wouldn't justify the expense, especially for my utility/hack use case! (& I prefer the aesthetics of the steel fork.)

The weight saving / cost is not a common sense thing to me, the properties of ti yes maybe, no rust is ideal etc:
You can make a bike lighter and have much more cash with other options

You'd really need to abuse the Brompton and not get it serviced for a decades before you may get some corrosion.
Bear in mind Brompton paint are very tough.

Currently not happy with supply, so not available unless a shop has stock... we sold 4 superlights in 2 weeks because of this..
What are you fancying?
