Hmmm. That doesn't look like any track bike I've ever seen.

That 'track bike' line has to be someone with a deep rooted masochism or a deep rooted sense of irony.
Maybe he was racing six year olds?

I've seen pictures of auto race-team members using mini motor-bikes. Perhaps this was a lower budget race team.

Well, here's a disgruntled Strida owner, who whilst giving his own appraisal of the bike, seems to be doing his best to ensure that it doesn't sell !!!
Are punctures really a problem with Stridas

Brompton M6R Plus on eBay...
Looks like the person posting it chose the word collapsible instead of folding so doing a generic search for folding bike would not have brought this up.

Quite a few questions asked and answered, not a single bid.

Even though I'm currently the high bidder on this, I'll go ahead and post this too...
A Swift Frame with wheels and seat...
https://cgi.ebay.com/Xootr-Swift-Fold...QQcmdZViewItem
I list it here, because I'm sure my high bid will be overtaken soon, and I don't plan on pursuing it beyond that.

When the shipping cost is high, this is the formula I use...
Shipping Cost - Real Shipping Cost = Shipping Overage
Actual Bid = Max Bid - Shipping Overage
That said, I agree that the shipping is fairly silly on this item.
