I know it's an MTB, but for a model (exact scale unknown, approx 20cm front dropout to rear dropout) it's pretty cool - don't you think?

    Perhaps it's some apprentice's work... before the era of IKEA flatpack products, apprentice furniture makers used to build scaled-down versions of wardrobes and drawers in order to practice their joinery skills without wasting huge amounts of wood.

    If that frame only spans 20cm, exactly how small is the yellow one behind the glass?

    A friend of mine has got an £800 Moulton scale model that is fully working, folding pedals and frame. Looking at the pics on his camera you couldn't tell it was a model.
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    Careful, she might stand up and punch you in the ankles for saying things like that... :wink:

    No, she'd be forever grateful to him for sourcing her a bike that fits!

    I think I might have overquoted the price but the model is a dealer only thing so not available to MotP and it was a Brompton, not Moulton.
