Because I don't necessarily need a folding bike, I just like how compact and light they are, the riding position, the adjustable one-size-fits-all setup of seat and handlebars, I like how 20 inch wheels of a dahon steer on terrain. Is there something out there like this that doesn't fold? Not necessarily with smaller wheels.
Is there a lightweight, upright, compact bike that's not a folder?

New:
Moultons (I'll assume you're more TSR than New Series budget.....)
Cannondale Hooligan
Many, many Asian mini-velos in all manner of spec (import your own or see this lot for a small UK-stocked selection).
Second-hand:
All of the above.
Dahon Hammerhead and Groove
Giant Escape Mini
Folders are a lot more widely available though- and you don't actually need to fold it to enjoy riding it!

The Giant Mini Zero is another option.

D'oh, I thought the Escape was a different bike!
Most of these seem to be US based, but there are some pretty cool examples: http://www.treehugger.com/bikes/21-small-wheel-bicycles-the-zippy-revolution.html
