I was lucky to find a very special folding bike: Winora Take Off. The bike is from the late eighties and is equiped with a 6 speed Sachs New Success groupset. I will post some photos of the bike when it's folded. More photos here: https://vive-le-velo.blogspot.com/2021/ ... e-off.html

yes, it's comparable to the design Rob English uses. The Take Off frame has the mechanism to detatch the seat stays near the dropouts (Rob builds the frame where seat stays are detached near seatpost collar). The Take Off frame was original sold including a special case. Too bad the seller of my bike did not have the case any more.
I got questions about the bike packed in the case. Here you can see the bike case (not mine). and I forgot to mention the weight: as shown it's 10.94kg.
That's correct. As you can see in the photo below the brake cable housings are long enough to remove the quill stem without disconnecting the brake cables.

Clever, yes. downside: the case was quite big. It measures 88cm x 79cm x 24.5cm for the frame size 58cm.
There are other clever design ideas: the rear hub is splitted, so it's possible to take off the rear wheel and the cassette remains on the frame (Sachs Galaxie hub).
The pedals are mounted in a way that allows it to mount and remove them easily without tools. Photos:
The best part in my opinion is the solution for the releasable lock of the rear frame section. A clever design. You can find the patent online: https://patents.google.com/patent/DE392 ... =DE3929296.
