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).
You know, you can bend the steering bars to come back to you... This way you don't need a big head tube angle to let a straight handlebar reach your arms.... My 'bent has a long curved bit of aluminum that makes it tiller steering. It takes a few minutes to get used to, but I really love it (almost as much as tweener bars).
