Yep, it’s a mini velo. Compact-ish frame, 20 inch wheels but the mod cons of a regular, modern steel bike. I think they were originally a Japanese idea for storing your bike in a small house or building, but this one is quite a capable little machine. Bit more fun than a Brompton too but you can’t stash it under your desk.

Bike coop rescue frame with local pedigree. 1994 531C and built in Newcastle for a Newcastle bike shop by Dave Yates and his crew. Mostly a parts bin build with new bars, cassette and stuff. Only thing left to do is to acquire a front shifter but I’m not crying out for changing into a 52T ring very often.
Rides really well and ideal as a town bike.
