Yes, I'm sure everyone is predicting right, with proper rake and trail it'll settle right down. It was expedient to give the "wrong" geometry a try just to see tho'. Straight ahead, and small steering inputs were fine, but try to give it more steering at speed and... ah ha ha ha ha ha... wipeout!

I've got ideas for another power source for the rear wheel; not only is it easier to power that wheel from the existing sprocket, but I wanted the pedal fwd for the short n sweet chain run vs snaking it all over the place.

AND there is the "different" aspect of it too.
