That's pretty cool. Seems to have a similar BB height as my Raleigh. The newer full suspension bikes generally have higher BB's, but I wanted a full rigid frame for this build up, as I thought it might introduce a strange handling dynamic to mix the suspension wheels with frame suspension. Ideally, I'd be looking for something with around a 13" high BB and most MTB's are 10-12...
Swift offers their folder as a frameset, so that might be an option too, but wanted the rigidity & durability of a mountainbike-based frameset.
