I finished the wheels and tried it out. Pics tomorrow. It's a nice little ride. I have a basket and tires on order but it's surprisingly fun. I also need to get some lights. Front hub is a dynamo.

Which tyres did you choose? Whats the clearance like, i wonder whether tioga powerblocks in 1.85 would fit?

I think dawes made a similar non-folder but with 406 wheels, always wanted to try building one with a few bmx parts (rims, tyres, crankset etc ) but they are not common where I live.

A truly excellent job there!

All the 20 variants were the same build quality; different variants had different equipment specs.

Btw, I sold that bike to a guy who uses it for fishing trips. He loved that it was British. His garage has a jag and a Raleigh now.
