the bike was retired for a while simply because i dont have the time or space to use it. ive also decided to build a new one with a lower flatbed height when i have the time to do such a project.

the steering is/was great! it takes a bit to get used to riding a front loader with extended steering, but once you get it it is very easy. i prefer it to xtra style long bike, though it is more difficult to get the front wheel off the ground if needed.

the chain steering was fun and felt very smooth, but would occasionally pop the chain off. while there were never any serious injuries we decided to use a more traditional linkage system, which is on the bike now. in its current state, the bike has a large platform rather than a basket and it has the steering link, otherwise everything else is the same.
