: There are several other manufacturers of folding bikes similar to
: this one, some with an even smaller folded size, and all with
: prices to match your wallet size.

Here's a full size (26" wheels) Jamis Dakota I've been converting to take-apart status.

Rather than using sleeves with bolts like the first one, this bike uses a downtube insert,
the seat tube, and quick release pins to permit much faster assembly than my first one.

I also made my aluminum take-apart handlebars for a smaller folded size. These bikes were built
to fit into the small trunk of my car.

I paid only $40.00 for this old bike, plus $3.00 for the hacksaw blade used to cut it up :)
