I didn't realise but there is already a fixed gear folding bike on the market, made by Montague Bike
It doesn't even look all that bad.
From what I can see it looks like they use a headset where the seattube is and a quick release in the middle to hold it together. If I'd have been thinking the way I am now, but 5 years ago, then I reckon I'd have made the first one of these in my shed!
It does mean that the ideas are already there though, and it'll be a whole lot easier for us lot to make our own folding bikes to our spec. There is a distinct lack of 'homemade folding bikes' on the internet. Come on guys, lets find some friends that can weld and get on with it!
