That's the reason I sold my B&W Brompton case: too heavy and too damn wide. It's fine at the airport, but then you get to the tube in London or the metro in Paris, its width makes pulling it to the turnstiles and onto the trains a big issue for me, and my storage space at home is at a premium too. I can see from the corrugated plastic sheeting that the Vincita case took a few impacts along the way, but the bike was unscathed.
