Actually this is just the kind of thing that I love. I had heard of quads but assumed they weren't manufactured anymore. I think I'd really like to go there eventually, at the moment I'm afraid to start messing around with it when my commuter is down and the bike I picked up as a back-up isn't built up for me to be able to ride it. I'm steedless and bummed to have to go back to riding the bus for more than a week as parts won't come in before I have to work my 7 nights in a row at the hospital and can't get anything done during that time. I'm afraid a quad is going to either take some extra fiddling or maybe not be compatible with my geometry (nothings ever simple!). As soon as I get the back-up bike set up (this winter) I am going to see if the quad will work for the GT! That would be awesome! I do really like going so fast, even if I am breaking the speed limit!
