by process of elimination by the wheels (enve sponsership) it could only be currently Greg Minnaar or Brian lopes. Going by the red grip clamps, i would say Greg minnar, However the saddle is opposite colours then what is normally used. Best guess is Greg boy.

Still Committed as he's not going for the brakes at all!

nice ride. Thinking of getting an Instigator myself, What frame size is this one? Looks perfect for me. Cheers

They look very good in white. Suits the frame to a T. I just need a replacement fork after the mega. Mine are already on their way out, and the race will just tip them over the edge. MIght take them off you before as a spare, but will let you know.

What cranks are they? they dont look like saints, very nice though! i am interested in the forks, but dont really want to buy any until mid July. If you still have them then i will take them off your hands.

He probably Did it for a Design Coarse at Uni. I did Porduct Design At Bournemouth Uni a Couple of years back, and wish i did something like this! you dont have to have a fully working prototype, just a fully working principle. The rest can be finialized later on in the design stages. You only get about 8 months to do all the design work, AND manufacture, so your breif has to suit the project. So i owuld guess that his breif was "create a fun, strong folding bike which will fold into the size of the wheel, no larger, and which can roll on the wheels when folded." keep it short and simple, otherwise you would of had to finish the brakes, drive etc and that would have been a lot more hassle. Really good concept and looks really good too. hands down the best folding bike I've seen.
