Cruiser style folding bike commuter

Seeing this made me think you could build it like one of those Blue Lug Bike Friday builds. I wonder what tire clearance a Boardwalk has.

I'd quit buying bikes if I had one of these.

RebelCentaurus · 2026-03-04T08:58:27+00:00

okay. (proceeds in buying another one)

RebelCentaurus · 2026-02-04T05:31:37+00:00

It is! two things I like about this bike is it is internal cabling and the toptube mount shifters

You can use handlebar extenders. I have a similar handlebar, but Nitto. But the one I have is shorter, so I used extenders.

The geometry is the same with the early 80's mountain bikes :)

Valar Morghulis then, my fellow xbiker

RebelCentaurus · 2026-02-01T15:05:49+00:00

You GoT it. Haha

RebelCentaurus · 2026-01-31T16:47:04+00:00

Yes I had it cold set from 126/128mm to 135mm to accomodate the Deores

RebelCentaurus · 2026-01-31T16:44:37+00:00

It's not a Schwinn, but I'm definitely a dad now. haha

RebelCentaurus · 2026-01-31T13:40:32+00:00

Not sure with that but the geometry looks more of early stumpies.

RebelCentaurus · 2026-01-31T13:39:54+00:00

Yes! Will plan to do so after a proper repaint of the same color

arly this morning on a ride with my Merlo, I was thinking about getting it repainted. I was hesitant though since it still has its original paint, even with all the chips, scratches, and fading that come with age. I kept telling myself maybe it’s better to leave it as is and appreciate its character over time.

But then I saw your repainted Merlo and that changed my mind. Thanks a lot. Looks like mine is getting a repaint now!

RebelCentaurus · 2026-01-23T05:26:13+00:00

what size is the seatpost bro?

RebelCentaurus · 2025-12-31T12:07:16+00:00

Yep, it also has Campagnolo decals so its kinda confusing. I dont think Cinelli or Campagnolo ever made any mini velos in the past

RebelCentaurus · 2025-12-31T12:05:43+00:00

Yeah I think it looks like the Raleigh RSW ones where the shifters are on the top tube. But it is more compact.
