Yeah, true. I'm not asking anyone to bless it or anything. Just wondering whether anyone had any experience of failure or problems.
There is a long wait for the Bombadil. A second hand cheapie would be nice but not really an option when you consider buying parts, time to build, etc. This *is* my second hand cheapie. Anyway, I didn't mention that I'm in Australia, and the chance of finding an enormous bike second hand here is basically non-existant (I've looked). There hasn't historically been a large enough market to support the range of bikes you guys have in the US. That Raleigh was bought new ca. 1975 by a friend who is almost my height, and it was the biggest available at the time. Basically I'm stuck with it until the Bomba arrives, and I want to make it work in the meantime. So I have a choice between comfortable bars with dubious safety and low bars with peace of mind—but a bike that isn't very enjoyable to ride.
