I was lucky to find a second hand earlier version (older) Brompton cover . It's roomier and my bike fits in with tilted handlebar. You can identify it from one difference: instead of having elastic band at the open end of bag, it has a string which can be tightened.

Thanks for the info. I've noticed that Vincita has a similar type bike cover, but I don't know if it is roomier.

Brompton cover is too snug. It certainly wont go over my fat comfort saddle. I found another one on amazon that is open at the bottom and roomier (still wont fit over extended seat post if you have one). I'm hoping if I stick a carrier bag over the saddle Eurostar will be ok with that for travel.

What was the name of that bag?

[@Crotoua]

Is your Brompton a M or H ?

[@curiouspenguin6887]

It's an M. If I hadn't slanted them slightly for riding comfort, I don't think the cover fit would be as much of an issue, even with the ergon grips.

[@FunwithBrommie]

I have the M bar. It seems H bar issues are not as well known.
