Maybe similar in geometry, but somewhat different frame designs.
My Sundeal minivelo has no caliper brake mounting points, seatstays are extended from the toptube;
Sundeal only has 8 speed with single chainring, not sure if frame is made to accommodate triple crankset.
For the last 3 years, the Sundeal has mostly been used as an errand bike within Brooklyn.
My longest single ride on it is probably 25 miles on a single sitting,
I really enjoy the minimalist and simplicity of riding a smaller sized bike with just the essentials for controls.
Cable activated mechanical brakes are very easy to setup, require minimal maintenance and offer plenty of braking performance.
Trouble-free operation in the city traffic with tons of potholes & poor road surfaces.
Bright color of the frame really deter the bike thieves.
