I am gonna give it a try anyway, and its priced to take a risk..
Oh, I agree that small bikes are a blast! I've got one of the Mercier Nano minivelos, but I also run my 700c road bikes on the small side (one is a 54ST/570ETT) for the same reasons: they're responsive and playful.
The Nano has a 525.8ETT and a 934.8mm wheelbase, so though it's a bit longer, it's still quite petite insofar as wheelbases go. The complete bike was $300, but I'm probably another $350 into it at this point, but you know, I really dig it, and I hope you enjoy your mini, too!
