I am not sure. I went down on it once (wet railroad tracks), but I am not sure if it was a sloppy prototype or if I bent the frame, because it was at least a year before I noticed it (got it in 2011, found it in 2012 or so). It's only a few mm off at the rear, and I had put washers in to center the wheel in the dropouts. The last time I rode it in summer of '15, the chain fell off taking off from a stoplight and broke a spoke. It hasn't moved since. Occasionally, I think about un-cannibalizing it and finding some non-sucky brakes for it. But I have enough to worry about.

It has a quill stem IRL.
