I don't get you guys. You want a bike that folds up super small like a Brompton. You want at bike with all the latest full sized high performance bike parts, and on a frame that rides like a full size mountain bike. You also want it to be super light like a carbon fiber racer. And you want it all built by 10 year old children who work somewhere in the far east for 8 cents an hour (70 hours a week), total cost $200 out the door. And they better build it high quality, finest metals, attention to detail and over engineered so that a Brompton would be an inferior quality product if compared beside it. Let me know what you come up with, and post some pictures after you get it on the road.
