Good to know that fits in a Samsonite case. You can get it smaller by removing the shoulder bolt holding the two halves of the frame together. You need to use a pin punch and hammer it out. Mine was initially tough to get out. It had some corrosion. I replaced it with a new one from McMaster.com. That one was better quality and fit easier. You can further reduce the size by taking the fork off. If you replace the loose bearings with cartridges for convenience.
