I've been kind of obsessed with mini velos since I watched this Berm Peak video a while back:
Seth's buddy is riding a Kyoot bike which is a BMX type mini velo and very cool.

Then I found the Velo Orange Neutrino
https://velo-orange.com/collections/neutrino-mini-velo/products/neutrino-minivelo
And the Soma Rufus Mini

These frame sets sell in the $600-800 range, $1500 and up for completes. For me that's a little steep for something that I may or may not ride all that much so I started thinking about how to build my own on a low budget. Something fun with gears. Maybe drop bar, maybe MX style bar. I mocked up some parts I had laying around just for fun and it looked kind of cool, I think it's pretty doable.
@Captain Awesome posted a link to this crazy cool thing

I really like this, that's an option.
Then @MattiThundrrr posted this wild one
Found more on this bike here: https://bikepacking.com/news/readers-rig-andes-mini-kona-honzo-esd/
It's really wild and cool.
So I've been looking at mini velos online and thought I'd start a thread for easy reference and fun.
