Wow! That's a really cool front suspension setup.... reminds me of that BMW touring motorcycle front suspension from the 1990's!

Is this bike a custom build? Got any more info about it?

Smallwheeler... Your ability to find all these really unique folders and min-velos never ceases to amaze me good sir! Cheers to you!

The mid drive to boost the gearing is a pretty sweet idea.

That is a neat looking bike but that steerer setup looks scary and it looks like there is zero fork offset. Super cool, I gotta do a custom frame mini this is great reference!

I love this thread but I went back through it and I hadn't seen the Origin8 Bully represented here, so here is mine as it looks today.

Thanks I love it, so far it is the only CR-MO frame mini with disc brake mounts I have seen. Its discontinued but the Wachsen BV-207 and BV-217 are almost identical but in Aluminum:

5LINKS2: a new model from 5links. triangle frame design. brilliant, secure axle-to-axle latch mechanism. capreo 9 speed or nexus inter 5 hub as standard options. internal cable routing.

Reminds me of a carryme. Could be ace in many circumstances. Like the idea of a capsero. Do you have the weight.
I think dahon should look at the wheel axle bolts interlocking design

avanttrigger javelin:

wheelbase = 1334mm(!)

reminds me of a hill-climber competition motorcycle , they made the rear swing arm real long
so the thing wouldn't flip over, climbing wall like hills..

raleigh RSW rushhour: full cromo. 406 alex da16 rims. schwalbe durano tires. sugino crankset. tange seiki style threaded headset. fluted seatpost. classic style. an impressive package at around 550usd. (only thing i would change would be the entry level altus derailleur and cassette)

Shame they're not available here. I'd swap the skinny tires for some 1.35" Kojaks.

Found this by accident, when I followed a link to an electric bike forum. I think it's awesome(without the motor stuff). Kind of the idea I had in mind when building my mini-velos... This one tops out over 40mph :eek:
