P.S. think the seat needs to be a little higher though

[McFsC]

Would be very easy to wheelie I reckon.

[Barbarossa]

Cool, agree seat needs to be higher.i

[Marty63]

That's mucking ficey.....

[Barbarossa]

Cool, agree seat needs to be higher.i

How esy would it be to pedal? It looks like direct drive, so how would freewheeling work?

[Martyn-123]

So, who is going to work out a design spec so we can build one.

I can mig weld and if i can build a car and are presently rebuilding my Kona then surely this would be within my reach, any frame builders out there who can work out the dimensions and tube size needed,

Seat doesn't need to be higher, wheels need to be bigger!

I saw this a while back on some design site.

From a company called Inner City Bikes.

They've only built 10 and they start at $9k.

Surely this could be a DIY fun project, what straight forks would you use to suit the 36" wheels ?

I guess the top bar would have to be really stiff to avoid it flexing and both wheels touching each other
