Buddy of mine has a pool cleaning business. He saw this in a customer's yard and picked it up for me for the cost of a case of Old Milwaukee.
Well, what do we have here? A Bluetooth front axle!
The headset has me perplexed. It's like a prehistoric kiddie version of a threadless headset, but with plastic bushings instead of ball bearings.
I mean I get that convertibles were essentially sidewalk bikes intended for really little kids, but I've only ever seen bushing setups like this on little Roadmaster 16 inch bikes with solid rubber wheels. I figure it'll be easy enough to switch over to ball bearings; I have a couple of extra forks in the hobby dungeon.
