Thanks for all the responses. I'm working on getting together some parts and I'm going to attempt to build one. I posted an offer on CL.org offering some beer I had left over from my wedding reception in trade for bike parts and the response has been overwhelming! I am going to try to go with a 26" rear wheel, a 16" front wheel. I posted in a local bike forum about being bent-curious and the guys there were not supportive. I still don't understand the rivalry between DF's and Bents. When I want something sweet, sometimes i eat skittles, sometimes I eat a snickers bar- they are different, but both are delicious.
