To be honest: the ride was a major disappointment. The thing still weighs 14 kgs and is not very stiff. And at 30 kph the frame movement hits its eigenfrequency, and I can't keep my feet on the pedals.
Well the local coop has a couple of those mono frame folders in there junk pile they always looked a little scary to me. More of a novelty bike than a rider but great job on building it up and going for something interesrting different. What I have liked about all of these clunker bikes is that for the most part they are interesting different keeping the budget down really brings out the creativity.
