It rides way, way better than I had thought it would, and I look forward to experimenting with it on multiple surfaces!
this looks like a very fun And versatile bike! nice work.
I’d love to get my hands on one of those surly dingles for the Lotus Eclair I’m building up as a fixed gear commuter/ light tourer.
