If I had a deposit, I'd keep it in there until one of these comes off the boat. I'll bet they'll look pretty awesome. Having ridden the prototypes, I'll say that they are SOLID. This diagonal-fest will only make them more solid. And more awesome.
And these were never svelte bikes. They are intended to be tanks, plowers, mowers...anything that adds strength (and innovation to boot) for this utility machine is welcomed... especially from Keven and Grant who do a lot of tinkering and riding and experimenting. Patience is a virtue. I'm liking this bike more and more. Esteban San Diego, Calif. On Apr 5, 3:48 pm, Beth <[email protected]> wrote: > Man...it sure must be nice to have a PBH above 75.
