Do aliexpress do a Ti version of the telescopic? If not possible to get one of the manufacturers in China/Taiwan to make a copy for you?

hadn't see that SJS sell just the bottom tube of the Kuosac tele - by my reckoning you could save nearly 200g with a no-cutting half-way house:
kuosac steel lower 324g, ti 27.2 upper (e.g torus 350mm is 250g) = 574g plus a lightweight qr clamp
vs stock brompton 440g lower + 220g upper + 108g pentaclip = 768g plus 8g qr clamp

@amey Ah, I’ve already seen that. As @HoKe says, I think it’ll be too short as my saddle height is approx 830mm.
Maybe I could buy one, cut the top off and use another 27.2 seatpost with a regular 31.8 saddle clamp and shim 🤔 Seems like a lot of faff for 200g saving though.
