Another mini on the table- very expensive (more than most TSRs), but probably the most compact I`ve seen. Both packing size and price are due to six S&S couplers. From the sound of it, he offered it in the past, but I`ve known of his sight for a few years and haven`t seen it before. Anyway, I emailed him to see if he also makes them with only two couplers and to confirm that they`re designed around ISO size 406 wheels since the site only says 20 inch. Haven`t heard back yet.

It can be ordered with only two couplers, but the price only goes down from 3k to $2300 for a bare frame- after building it up, it would still be well over the price of a complete Pashley Moulton TSR 30. He does offer off the shelf S&S bikes and frames for 26 in wheels at a killer price, but the 6-Packs are apparently all custom and can be ordered in whatever wheel size. I guess I just hope for a takedown Smooth Hound or Hammerhead to show up on eBay when I`ve got the money together. Or pony up 2500 for a TSR 9 :)
