I think BA still take bikes as sporting equipment as a free extra to your luggage, but it has to be bagged or boxed and weigh less than 23kg to be free. I can get within my limits with a mountainbike in a solid case.
If you don't already have the Brompton and this policy still applies, I'd be tempted to take a proper bike rather than a folding compromise. If you are going to buy a bike to take, I'd also look at Airnimal and Bike Friday - both of these ride more like a proper bike than the Brompton and fold down pretty much as small. The Bike Friday also comes with a case to carry it in.
