Damn shame Bike Bins disappeared. They have survived several crashes because they are stuffed full. All 3 bins are 100% waterproof.
Notice the tool holder/ ballast tank under the BB.
It still does have a bad no hands shimmy when loaded. Doesn't stop me from going 43 mph.
Cross wind had NO effect actually.
I wouldn't change much with this bike on a re-do. Having a flat on the rear is a major undertaking.
That is a very interesting bike! Actually the coolest/ most different bike I have seen in a while. Thanks for sharing.

The bag at the front is mounted to the head tube right?
Have you done some systematic testing to see what the effect of each bag is? I.e. only taking off the front bag and keeping everything else the same? Taking off the balast bag under the bb and keeping everything else the same? If you did what conclusions did you draw on the effects each bag has?
How much weight is typically in each of these two (front bag and under bb) bags?
