Hell, my bike's only 32lb. didn't realise the 3rd wheel doubled
the weight.

yours doesn't have a rollcage or an aero fairing or intrusion
protection. These are for HPV races, they have pretty tough safety/
collision requirements.

yes, that would add bits. I suppose if you are in a faired trike you
would be a bit more of a sitting duck to someone else's buzzsaw....

I just looked on the net and I do believe what I saw was a cruzbike.

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...."

You know how dangerous buzz-saws can get.

That [Tim-Tam] would be the Classic. Not to be confused with the
Chocolate, Chocolate, Chocolate, and Double Chocolate flavour.

enough of chocolate.) -- Faceless Man on ARK
