^ Yeah, but without linked steering there's likely to be a lack of directional coordination.
Meanwhile, still on the juvie front. The ony thing wacky about this one is the brand name. Some things don't translate well.

- Dae Yung (also spelled Dai Yung) (tires, saddles)
(Be sure to read the ad copy, it's priceless "Engrish". And yes I know their English is way better than my Chinese, so I am not judging them!)
I have a Dae Yung saddle, I should take a picture of it. Cheap vinyl saddle-shaped object. Needless to say, it died young.
- Yeong Fuk (bicycles):
- Arse Sport (clothing?)
- Assmann (saddles)

As Thumpism alludes to, definitely makes me think of what Frankenstein's saddle would look like if he had a bicycle.
