There's a kit for them You get one of those Y-shaped mountain bike whatsits and Cruzbike supply some bits, you take the Y shaped bike apart and re-combine the bits into a new format, giving you a suspended front wheel drive bike. I keep thinking.... "can get a Y bike for $100 at theft converters or even kmart, wonder what it would be like to ride...." Zebee |
