I have a very exciting folding bike on the way, and will send pm.

The folding bike is definitely something that I would be interested in. I'm selling my Moulton because, although it rides as good as a road bike, it is not incredibly convenient to travel with.

I was going to buy a Bike Friday, but I'd love to see what you come up with! Preferably in Ti and as light as possible, 20" wheels, please.

At the back of my mind, there is a vague notion that bikes are creatures with "life", hence S&S couplers that would "break off" a frame bothers me. And I can't get used to folding bikes with 20" wheels yet. So here is a picture of the prototype. Happy to hear your thoughts. ...

The idea is to make it look like a regular road bike.

Well it certainly looks like a regular road bike. I can't see how it folds.

Really :roll:
You'll trust a tiny Hirth joint in a Campagnolo crankset but not a much larger version on your frame?

No this is purely a personal eccentricity, for lack of a better word, so not meant to be any criticism of the design. Mentally I just want to have a solid front triangle.

Plus, Campy has this... :D

Just kidding~
