I need one of these! Like yourself, I’ve been into Raleigh’s and kingpins for a while, then I discovered mini velos this morning while on a FB page from the Philippines where they seem to be pretty popular. Great video by the way. I’ll go find part 2

Top tip: If you ever see anyone throwing out a garden trampoline grab a couple of the leg poles. They fit over the handle of an adjustable wrench and make for a great lever to remove any freewheel. Save you tons of cable ties too. 👍Keith@Seaside Cycles

That’s a great shout!! Felt bad about the zip ties. I’m just not patient enough to find a better option in the moment hahaha! 🤦🏻

I have a mini velo bike here in Portugal and I'm always looking for more European content about them. I appreciated your video and subscribed! Looking forward for the rest of the build!

I also bought this same bike off facebook in almost new condition I got mine for £130. The stock 27.2 400mm seatpost was far to short for me so after searching I found a 600mm seatpost which provides a better height. Only problem is despite definitely being the correct size everytime I try using it it keeps getting stuck in the seat tube and it takes all my strength to pull it back out. The company I bought the seatpost from suggested applying some grease but I already tried a different type of lubricant which didn't help and since I've barely used it since I got it I'm thinking about cutting my loses and just selling it on. Watching part 2 and 3 of this project makes me wish I had the technical know how to fix the various other problems with the bike to get to a point where I'd want to use it more regularly but I'd likely just be sinking unnecessary money into it without much to show for it in the end. It's a shame because ever since I came across the Mini Velo style of bike I've wanted one. I've got a 16" folding electric bike which I use most days and despite encountering a fair few issues with it since I bought it I can still say it's been worth having if only for providing me with some independence since I don't drive and motivation to get out the house. The bike I'd really like it they were still available is the Raleigh Lorry.

I'm thinking about making a mini folding velo for commuting to work. I've got to agree that trying to find a good bike frame that I like is really hard! I saw a Dahon Mu 2009 model, but the person wouldn't come down from £400. I really like you videos so you've got a new subscriber! I'm looking forward to your videos.

That zip tie monstrosity 🤣 get yourself a bit of old scaffolding pole you can slip over the end of most things, even extend your breaker bar if you need to. You can also hammer/crush the end if it won't fit over your adjustable wrench handle.
