I build the bike to bring with me to college. I was hoping to create something that will fit into a regulation size suitcase on my flights. The smaller size also allow me to store this in my dorm room. With compactness in mind, I also want a bike that handles and rides well. This was what I came up with with a very limited budget. (came together for around 200 bucks).

Huh, now that's something you don't see everyday, ingenious.

One suggestion, you might want to cut down the steering tube that's sticking out above your stem, it's an accident waiting to happen (or at least it would be if I was riding it).

Thanks, will do. It's actually a spacer because the threaded part of bolt is not long enough. I'll have to cut more threads or find a bolt just the right length

Nice build!

Hey, nice build!
Each year, I spend several months in Japan for my job. There, road mini-velos are quite common. Even Bianchi has a road mini-velo in its Japanese line-up. I wonder why we cannot see more of those in Europe or the US.
Yours is great! Well done!
