I wanted a Mini Velo frame, but the budget doesn't allow for that. So when I came across this old thing, I picked it up. I needed a tougher frame for my city riding and also wanted those size wheels and tires specifically.
No name 20" tall frame

Very cool! I love these crazy little wheeled bikes!

As usual, it has cottered cranks and is steel, so it's an old one. I'll start a build thread on it.
Unfortunately, the frame was really poor, so it has been adopted for a school art project.
Should be a "find" but I see this on C/L and your bike reminds me of it so what do you think?

I'd get that in a minute. It's probably a Giant made frame. I don't know if it's rare, I mainly keep up with 83 and earlier Schwinns. But that Qualifier would be a great commuter bike. It's nearly the same thing as a mini-velo. It's like a folder, small and a little less weight, and you can find a place inside to keep it.
