top tube is like a noodle... yes its light but titanium properties with no design change? major oversight.
You can readily buy them on ebay, lots of cash...
aluminium doesn't have the same properties as steel, it wouldnt be as comfortable, it would not last as well etc etc etc
Bromptons are designed as commuting bikes.. who commutes on a carbon chainring and 4 spokes per wheel?!

Hmm, I always wondered what a full ti Brompton would weight in at and why Brompton don't offer this. Via another forum > Full ti 5.84kg and i theory I can buy this (illegal) frame on ebay. Anyone care to confess to having brought one and share how it is? The OP on that thread queries how flexy it would be to ride. I'm also curious as to why no aluminium I'm sure there are good technical reasons for both.
