I "know" that guy from the same Chinese cycling forum we visit for years. He is also from Beijing, not too far from where I live. And I know his clinch projects right from the start. he shared a lot of post on the build up process, the pain with PF30 BB, ODA**********? ??77bike**********???-**********??? **********??. He even tried to get around the non-standard fork by reverse engineering it **********? -- ??ODA**************************************** ??77bike**********???-**********??? **********??. Great try sadly didn't work out. Here's mine shared on the same forum ODA 阶段定装 —77bike折叠自行车-骑行旅游 改装交流, a year earlier.
Great guy, sadly not active here any more. I tried to source his very frame when I started the 2nd clinch project, only to know he has sold it a while ago.

All over China's internet space you could find 3 person active customized this model and shared it online, switching to the English with the powerful Google, only to bump the same guy and bike. Quite telling, right?
I had originally planned on purchasing the Clinch when it had first been released a few years ago, but I realized it didn't fit into my lifestyle. I require a bike to fold quickly, since I ride trains in NY. The Clinch is still an excellent folder.
