Folding Bikes

I wonder why there aren't more bikes like these being produced.
Hmm, good question, it does look different for a road bike... and also Dahon already has a folding road bike with their Tournado (it's not an instant fold, more an Allen Key + 25 mins to make it happen, but the frame looks like a regular road bike...).

That's not a bad weight for a folding bike!
The weight is helped by the alu frame and picking known components with published weights. Also, I've done simple things like swapping out the heavy R500 wheelset skewers for titanium ones that I sourced from the web.

It looks pretty short for big wheels though, are you getting toe overlap?
I was worried about that as well, but testing out has shown no overlap.
