EPX Speedster Frankenbuild

New frame purchased >15 years ago that just hung in my garage until I finally built her out with last year with leftover takeoff parts. 1x10 Shimano 105 rear, Dura Ace bar end shifter, etc.

Not nearly as elegant or easy to actuate as the other folding bikes in this forum but technically still a folding bicycle:

As requested, picture of the Speedster folded. I prolly should have turned the bars to full lock before the rear wheel tucked in to be a bit more compact and I guess with a QR binder bolt a collapsed seatpost could help but compared to the other proper folders on here it's a rounding error lol



And the quick release that holds the whole thing together when unfolded, complete with lock:
