BTW, in regard to "Why are there no folding Mixtes? (I guess a Moulton is as close as you get..)" - a mixte is one of the most beautiful examples of the structural engineer's art, even L da Vinci would have wept had he lived long enough to see one; there are no folding mixtes because it would be a crime against art, and also because it is a stupid idea. Also the Moulton doesn't fold, it comes apart in the middle, Dr Moulton has, I believe, a low opinion of folding bikes in general.
