My first attempt at a mini-velo. That seat post is a solid rod of aluminum. Thanks to the small wheels I was in top gear all the time, and the brakes were a cobbled together mess. No longer with us, it did inspire me to build the Raleigh 20's.

They have tons of good used ones over here, shipped in from Taiwan and Japan because they always get a new bike every few years. This one with fat tires is listed at 6000 pesos, about 107 US dollars.

Yeah, you should start a side business shipping them over here.

I just saw this 20" folder frame for 500 pesos, less than 9 dollars, brand new. With 9 dollars shipping. I ordered it! This will definitely be in the build off if it shows up.

That was the 26". It looks like it will take a standard seat stem. I have all the parts needed to make a whole bike. Here's the right one:

Looks like it's a knockoff of a Montague folding Paratrooper

I converted one of the inexpensive ones from Bikes Direct to flat bar. With its quick steering, it's a blast to ride--the cycling version of a sports car.

How wide of a tire do you think one of those would fit?
