Also, what are the odds "another" will also never be hardware? And Why?

More postponed than a dead end. I still want to make it. And what i am focusing on now is not that different, designs change and furcate.
I´m not killing this thread.

"furcate, eh?"

Branching into lines of descent from a common source is it then?
And when will tubes be cut, the torch be lit and fabrication will proceed?

PS: Can we ask "Why" now?

Your poetry and your ***** for this thread makes me blush. I found a skilled person that will cut tubes and light torches shortly, i will just throw money in that direction. I promise to keep you updated with the development and even let you ride if you play nice. You can ask "why", but remember, if you have to ask what jazz is...

There are bikes with same steering angle but less trail. How are those forks bent?

I think you should evaluate how the relative height of the top tube right behind the head tube moves up and down as the front wheel swings in a change of direction. No issue while moving along, you may not like it when going slow, starting off on a slight up grade or thinking about getting out of the saddle.

I have a roadster. It is the very low speed big changes in direction where that bike is no fun. Useful for riding over curbs, small dog sized objects or wayward children. Poor rutted surfaces are swallowed whole too with little effect of direction change as the bike wants to go straight, always.
