some interesting modifications to the standard fold-in-half bike.

this stem is noteworthy: steering mast and stem in one.



with built-in computer. sweet.



quick-release button inside the latch mechanism is novel. however, i do find that dahonesque turnbuckle triggering and problematic. it gives me flashbacks, tbh.



the custom seatpost and tube are questionable. i wonder if the seattube can properly bind a standard 33.9mm post? IMO, the best designs are always the one's with the fewest and most universal parts with the highest durability to weight ratio.
