Here it is. I'm thinking I could use the front wheel, forks & headset for the front of the Franken-Bike-E.



But I'd rather go with under-seat steering so I can use better front wheel geometry than the Bike-E had, which made it unstable, rather twitchy, and prone to chopper flop in the steering department (my biggest complaint about the machine).


The women's Peugeot is a FreeCycle find that is my Pirate Bike emergency back-up system.
