    Although, the doc still hasn't released me I've been fooling around in my lab. :rolleyes9: Here's what developed while I was in there poking around. I made a big mistake on this one. You have to have an X-seam of at least 40" to ride this thing. I should have rotated the Bottom Bracket up higher to allow shorter folks to ride it.:o_O9: I should mention that the only new item on this bike is the grips. Everything else was from donor bikes or pieces of steel laying around.

    Safe Rides,

    It's very cute!

    Unless you have some experience riding either a Cruzbike
    -front wheel drive, moving bottom bracket- or a unicycle,
    you'll have some difficulty with those narrow handlebars...
    not enough leverage.

    Most people, including me, fight/counteract the pedal steer of these bikes
    with the arms when learning.
    Wide handlebars help.

    Yoda,

    I take back all those things I said about you. That's a fine looking bike.
    Don't over-do in the lab.
