These shouldn’t be hard to find in the UK.
MMMMMmmmmm.... look at that elegant 2X gearing.
OP: if needing to fold and unfold more often than just for flights, bikes that come apart like the above take too much time to break down. But if bike going to stay unfolded for the duration of your stay, well the Moulton looks to be a class act. I've never ridden one, but the suspension, though small, should ride better than my fixed frame. Be aware, 20"/406 has wide range of tire size availability (can go wider, if clears in frame and fork), whereas 20"/451 has very limited tire widths. Not sure, I think the Moulton may be 451 or other size.
