I am considering a project to built up a bicycle from a frame (just for the heck of it). MTB. My first question is relating to wheels: What should I be looking at/considering when either buying/scavenging/building a wheel for a mountain bike? (ideally I will be looking for salvage level stuff which I can fix... more for the experience. i.e. if I see a 26 inch wheel with no spokes and hub, should I try to build a wheel, etc.?)</p>

But something about the distance between the bike seat and the handlebars felt really uncomfortable, so I did a semi-deep dive into “bike geometry“.<br>I’m curious whether other people use measurements and angles when looking at different kinds of bikes, or if bike geometry is only useful to bike builders.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/foldingbike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>foldingbike</span></a></p>

Tern's are okay too, but the folding ones aren't as good as the Brompton IMO. Every other folding one I've ever seen rattled itself to pieces and tore up the hinges after a while, they just aren't made for the torque of a motor.
