Minivello - (kinda) rolling chassis

Posted on
  • Need to get rid of this - it’s served it’s purpose to me. Quite a niche beast. Dahon Hammerhead 5.0 from the glory days of the early 21st century.
    Before minivelos were hip. It’s very light - (alloy frame and forks) clever front sus doodad. Has reasonable tyre clearance (40c maybe) less with guards. Selling as seen here. Notes:
    It has many scuffs scratches and cable rubs
    The tyres have heaps of life left (marathons)
    The wheel rims are pretty worn but still viable.
    The front hub is a fancy kinetix thing with 74mm old and cartridge bearings. These probably need replacing.
    The rear hub is probably done if you want it for anything other than a shopper / beater. Ive overhauled it and adjusted it to avoid binding and roll smoothly but there is play there.
    Has a single speed converter kit on it - it came as 1x8 originally.
    Selfcof seatpost. Original nvo stem.

    Could be a fun project - (I did have plans to put a rigid disk fork on the front and big basket)

    Great for hopping around town on to shop / pub with - v easy to carry up steps etc.

    Please save it from landfill.

    £70 Ono- SOLD
