Its lovely but does it fold?

well it's a first for me if it has been posted before. A folding fork is an very unusual idea. lots of interesting ideas on it, including QR pedals.

I was really confused about the folding as the wheels couldn't fold past the frame, so I've had to google. both the front and the rear (at the pivot) slide about 2" sideways to clear the frame. That's crazy and also clever, but mainly crazy.

Just catching up with this thread as I'd stopped getting notifications for some reason.

You're all getting senile, GIGFY posted one of these on p.66.

Wasn't the first time, probably won't be the last.

It definitely will if you take it on the BMX track!

Anyhow.. It has 20” wheels so it should fit into the minivelo category..

Not sure I agree, it has small wheels but is a chopper, not a folder, demontable or mini velo. I think it belongs in Chris' sweaty thread.

I’m building myself a demontable/suitable and got it rideable enough to the other day.

This fork is too long so will be tackling that soon.

Looks fantastic and surely great to ride?

It’s a bit of a wheely wand being tipped back with the long fork. Once I’ve corrected the a2c and my weight isn’t quite as far over the rear I think it’ll be better.

I might have posted the last version on here, it had much longer chainstays. I think shortening then will j have made it a lot more chuckable, more like a bmx.
