The B&W hard travel case (https://fudgescyclesonline.com/product/bw_brompton_bike_hard_travel_case)fudge cycles sell looks good but it leaves no room for anything else, it can't be your only case for a trip. Any recommendations for something bigger? Anyone tried a B&W foldon box M?

Why not just purchase a standard case that the Brompton will fit in? You can always pack foam or additional stuff around the bike to stop it moving around. Always possible to put bike in bag to keep other stuff clean. Much cheaper option than a specific case.

It's possible maybe. Magic hat, spd shoes, 11 days clothes and two laptops makes me think no. But there's a carrefour at my destination so I could eject the hat. Can I live without my own laptop? Uncomfortable not having a backup for the work supplied turd but if it makes the difference...
You've succeeded in switching my brain into 'how light can I travel?' mode rather than 'how do I shift this lot?' :thumbsup:

I have the folding box (https://brilliantbikes.co.uk/brompton-transportation/1812-b-and-w-foldon-folding-bike-box.html), and could fit my helmet, SPD shoes and a bunch of clothes packed around the bike. Probably wouldn't have been comfortable putting a laptop in it, but I keep that about me anyway.

Thanks dme, foldon case ordered.

My ideal Brompton case would be one that converted to a trailer so having unpacked the bike, use the case to carry your stuff. Does anyone make such a thing?

I've no idea, but it would surely be a licence to print money for whoever did, once you factor in the obligatory FuckinHellHowMuch markup on a) Brompton accessories and b) high-end luggage.

Bike Friday?

A Brompton's saddle needs to be removed to fit the folded bike into a Bike Friday Samsonite suitcase.

For DIY/MYOG you attach some sort of box to a Circe trailer kit:
