I rode it, steering takes some time to get used to. Riding with coaster brake only is scary! The seating position is slammed, but acceptable.
Low for show and high for go - after the build off is over if I want to ride it I will have to raise the seat and the handlebars. Thanks to the adjustable stem I could probably keep these handlebars.
