i think you're right about the overall length, but it will be interesting to check the dims with both wheels removed. i'm excited to see how compactly the folded package can be configured.

regarding this bike's usefulness as a commuter, during off peak (not rush hour) times i often board trains with only the rear swing arm folded on the brompton and even the llama is no problem in that configuration. i see this new bike functioning in a similar way. it would be a comparatively rare circumstance in which i would feel the need to completely fold and bag this bike. getting on a bus would be one and rush hour on the subway would be the other - two situations i try assiduously to avoid anyway.

if you're planning on doing loaded touring or some other hardcore adventure traveling nothing is better suited to that than the pocket llama. however, the llama could be considered overkill for a three day business trip to tokyo, visiting abu mahendra's palatial compound in bali, or simply observing the collapse of western civilization in real time via a eurail pass. i think light travel is where this bike will really find it's niche.
