I commute on a Xootr Swift. 20" wheels, and pretty much everything else is standard mountain or bmx parts, so my local bike shops can take care of it.

eek. Looks nice and all, but I don't clean my surfaces nearly often enough to have glass hanging over spitting oil. I'll keep sticking to ugly, clunky, out-of-fashion, BLACK stove accessories.
