just been looking at mini velo bikes for the last 2 hours, but there impossible to find to actually buy here in England Frown

the one i really want is a sillgey, which is actually a fixed gear, the rest seem to be folding bikes or have drop bars and SS cogs

what you guys think about them? i think they look like huge fun

examples...

Converting a folding bike to fixed gear would be the way to go...look like a lot of fun though

i wanted to attempt it with a bmx, but the seat high problem is a big problem, after checking some folding or similar style bikes i want one instead Big Grin bit worried id brake it riding off a curb though, seems practical though

any dudes on here with one?

I've wanted one of those for a while but not bad enough to actually get one, plus I'd want to test one out first. Looks like tons of fun!

Edit, anyone notice the front brake action on the last bike with red tires? Just pull on the cable to stop!

yeah i see cables and no lever Confused


i spotted one where i work, well it doesn't fold but its a similar style, quite heavy though, may see how much i can get it for then if its good do it up a bit, you could do that to

maybe could use some bmx wheels or something

i found more folding ones on flickr, ill upload pics on here later Smile

So it's like flatland with some street...on a small fixie? So like hipster version of street riding? lol

I will admit that in the second vid, at about 2:33 that would be fun on a bmx. Smile
