"Much lower than market price" is what I never understood about this project. If he wanted to sell it cheap, why not focus on the appeal of a compact fold with 24" wheels and make it out of steel or aluminum? He seems to have fallen in love with titanium - a not particularly popular material these days - and decided he could sell it at a steel/aluminum price. That would have been hard to do with a non-folding bike!
