A folding modern cruiser bike

[clerkkent]

I picked up a folding adult cruiser bike on CL. It is a modern chinese frame cruiser that had a tank plate and looks as if someone cut the doen tube and top tube ,in front of the seat tube, and welded some door hinges, then powder coated blue. ... but it was a company called "Monster Bike".. the website on the sticker shows "monster-bikes.com" but that is currently a dead link, and the model is a " Dr. Jekyl". Does this ring a bell to anyone?

Those welds

It doesn't look well planned either: note the worn, scratched area on the hinge where it interferes with the bb. Seems possible this might be a home job that they stuck a sticker on, trying to get a business started

Yep, that notch in the crank arm was deliberate, not worn. I suspect they were trying to make room so the frame could fold tighter against itself.

Those welds have caused the same reaction as fingernails on a chalkboard to all who have seen them.
