Hello Shahmatt,
I purchased the frame on Ebay. I think SpeedOne primarily sells unbranded frames to assemblers; I've never actually seen a SpeedOne in the wild. *
As for the seat, I'm inclined to agree with you, but, frankly, it only takes me a moment to remove the seat (I don't use clamps), and another to separate the two parts. I use a plastic-head bolt and wing nut, so it can be done by hand. Honestly, the seat is off and broken down in about 3 minutes.
To fold this bike and get it into its carry bag takes about 4 minutes. To do some minor dis-assembly and get it into my Dahon Airporter Mini takes about 15 minutes. The only fly in the ointment is that I have to leave one wheel out. I'm still puzzling that last bit out.
