more to come.

Have you sat on the bike? I'm having trouble visualizing where the legs go when stopped. I'm
guessing they go over and in front of the bars.??

The workmanship is top notch. Great work.

Very nice looking...glad you mentioned the tiller effect is not too pronounced, as that was my first
thought. Is that a standard "comfort" riser, that has the adjustable angle, like found on today's
comfort and hybrid DF bikes? Did you have to alter any cable lengths? Inquiring minds want to know.

I will have Cat snap a few pics when I go out riding tomorrow. Yes, I think it will go like this...
break, unclip foot and at point of stopping, turn to unclipped side slightly and drop foot. Some
leverage on the bars and one point of contact with ground allows me to unclip my clumsy foot from
the pedal and swing the leg over to the side I am slightly leaning toward and I stand up, reaching
for the seat back to keep the bike stable.

Thanks for the compliment!
