Feedback on a folding fixie

It is too big when folded

All of these problems with the current design are very easily overcome by adding folding wheels. Get on it.

14kg!!!

7kg once folded though

given the rigidity comments above, if you really wanted a full sized bike and wheels where frame had to split for transport would you not use S&S couplings type thing http://www.bobjacksoncycles.co.uk/ss.php without the rigidity issue (I appreciate there may be a price difference) ?

It's on..

Fucking hell it's even worse than I imagined.

You'll probably end up in one of those if you buy a FUBi fixie......

Imagine a Fubi/Foffa collaboration..

I think @fubiman fucked off the moment someone said no.

I just noticed this on the site... lol

Didn't really explain how/what I can do if my bike has a normal geared hub or another diameter seatpost or 26inch mtb wheels or anything. Even my pompino has v brakes that won't fit this.

12 backers already!

Still not as cool as the fubi bike lol

thinking of designing something that you suspect has limited appeal / value? then read this. save yourself a lot of heartache / monnehs.

The "Made in Finland" stamp on the site, ripped straight from Shutterstock, doesn't really inspire confidence

'Photoshoped'. Lol.

Wouldn't pushing it along when folded be really difficult if it was fixed? When the rear wheel touched the floor the cranks would try and turn and jolt/smack into the frame. Sounds unbelievably frustrating. They didn't seem to show that in the video.

His thread on Pinkbike.com was removed from what I can see. When a forum says no, just stop. Stop plz

Hahahaha this guy tried the same thing 3 years ago and failed, and now is trying again with an even shitter idea?

This is just fucking tragic.

Seems like a nice guy but watching him fold the fubar right down made me sad.
Nobody wants that kind of meccano-faff in their life.
