i like it!  looks like there might be a few potential finger trappings though whilst switching between fold mode and ride mode...

Ive got a couple of Rsws
am doing up my blue one.
http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c296/Alecw35/rswblue.jpg
thats it as I got it from a neighbour.
I stripped it down.  recut and narrowed the BB to take modern BB axle and alloy cranks.  I recut the steerer tube thread and shortened the head stock.  Its got a proper headset on it now.  Still has the bar clamp though.

The Raleigh mags have a protuding bearing housing.  Bit too near the forks.  I did swap the axle for a flattened one so it would fit in the fork drop outs.  But gave up on it.

I drilled the stem to run the cables through them.  Then down out the forks, like a Bmx.  
But I dont have cables long enough to go to the rear brake and gears.
Also I tried to fit a weimman centrepull brake on top of the chainstays.  But its not got enough reach.  Even when I made an adaptor plate.  I dont like the RSWs steel centrepull brake.  I did get a NOS brake plate with shoes for my S3B hub.  but that needs an even longer cable.  
I built a 20 spoke AW hub into an alloy rim from a kids bike.  will fit a alloy spoke guard.  It sort of matches the cranks

Have you looked up RSWs on the web?
Theres fancy new ones on sale in Japan
There Minivelo style bikes.
IE small wheels with a sort of extended frame to be a standard size.
Cant understand all the japanese tho.

I'll have to finish my RSW
have hassle with cables and brake.

Ive got that grip shift on my Minisprint.  Its got a Shimano hub
I took it off my Huffy Sportsman.  I got an alloy Shimano grip shift for that.
Dont know if they pull the same amount of cable though
