It´s rideable but on veryslow speeds it´s not stable. And you can´t walk it straight.

Seems there will be some steering flop because of the rake... To mend or not to mend, that is the question..

I know how it´s measured and also know where it should be but sometimes the style and look are more important... I have one bike that has too much trail but it works ok when riding at normal speed but when going very slow it´s bad.

Needed to change the position. What is that called...

How much do you think about rake and trail while designing your bike? Do you measure and calculate before or do you just eyeball it?

Practice, that´s all it takes.

Just a quick mock up but you get the idea.

No new pics yet but started to disassemble. 7 times I took my tools out and just when started to work came the rain. Not happy...

Maybe it´s time for me to enter also. I´ve been thinking about it a few times but the categories where not suitable for me. I have a few ideas about different bikes also but I decided to attend with "Orange blossom" because I have no name ideas for the others ;). Here is the frame I´m starting...

This bike is done by Olli here in Finland.

Ok, I´ll consider your offer. Maybe I´ll take it with me the next time i hitchhike to Chicago...

Sorry, misspell. Need the parts for front brake...

Thank you all for your info an input. I would like to keep it original but seems it´s very hard to find parts for it here in Finland. If you can help me on that, it would be great. For now I need at least the missing parts for the front brake.

I like those brakes / brake handles too, they are rare here. Let me know if and when you have more info. Thanks in advance.

Is there any good reason to keep it original or can I modify it with a clear consciense? I mean, I don´t want to waste a relic...
