(MEC has a good refund policy so I returned the bicycle.)

I am looking for is a non-folder for resiliency, with 20" wheels. It seems that folks call this a "mini-velo".
I want to use a Shimano Alfine 11 IGH on the bicycle, so drop-outs must be suitable.

I would buy the Dahon non-folding Smooth Hound if I could find a large size. I know the bicycle isn't made anymore. I see from other posts here that Dahon made a "Hammer Head" but I don't know if it was non-folding.

Biria makes a model called the Mini 20. Does anyone have experience with this bicycle?
