Giant mini-velo on UK ebay
There is a giant mini velo on UK ebay
I don't have anything to do with the seller - but I do have one of these bikes, and it is great !!! It is not so whippy and skittish as my hammerhead was, and has braze ons for mudguards.

i saw one in the street, it looked very good, don't think i have ever seen it listed for UK sales though, in fact we never seem to get any mini-velos other than a Dahon or two, not that they are not welcome, I thought Snafu's HammerHead with handlebar modification was a fabulous machine, alas it just wouldn't fit in the bottom of my wardrobe.

The stress point where the frame goes through itself in an 'X' worries me a bit - I prefer that Bruno's more Moultony approach. Definitely a bargain to be had for someone though and I'd be tempted if it wasn't at the other end of the country. Frame isn't that different from a classic Raleigh Twenty if you squint.

I've always had a problem telling the 'Giant mini-velo' from the 'Mini giant-velo' !!
