It was in the workshop of an Evans the other day.

Looked like a protracter with wheels. Really small wheels.

Looked as though designed to keep the rider in a "sitting" position like "high-wheelers" of lore.

Wish I paid more attention. I can't forget it til I know wha'tis.

Pair of compasses was much more accurate.

Looks nothing like a protractor. 😳

Was thinking setsquare. Measuring things, not my thingy thing.

Wasn't a Moulton, maybe the A-Frame but this one was painted white.

Common (junior)school-boy protractor/compasses confusion error 😉

Evans have quite a range of foldey bikes, probably just one of them.

Now, down to business,

What on earth?

Real cool appearance (The only folding bike in the industry that doesn’t make you look like a “granola type”)

From the website. What does it make you look like then?

Plenty of both in the Edinburgh Evans, surely.

I wonder if it was in to have the "BB enclosed 3-speed-gear shifter" looked at.

They look good those thingys, not the stiffest on the planet but if you are going to/from the Apple store to Le Pain Quotidien then they are fine.

They wheelie rather well too. 😆

I think I want one.

Then i'll give it to Chris Akrigg to see what he can do with it.

Pretty slack headangle, unusual wheelsize (brings the urban jungle alive?), bang on trend. 😉

Here's the thing;
[b]Folding[/b] bike = Brompton
Folding [b]bike[/b] = Airnimal

Anything else is just plain wrong. And you'd look a total asshat riding one of those anyway!*

*Yes, yes, I know, I almost certainly look equally asshatish on my Brompton.
