So a Brompton then?
Or a Bike Friday maybe.

Google Sillgey, Bruno, Gios, there's lots out there with good frames that don't cost that much and aren't too portly as long as you don't require a folder.

I love the minivelo thing going on with the Mayfair folder, but the bike isn't going to survive. Too much seatpost, too much creaking.
Roughly how much is a custom frame, and has anyone heard from theirmatetheamazingframebuilder making a minivelo/folding bike?
Realistically it's not a bike that needs to be light with the best tubes, it needs to survive a taller rider and a harder life.
