I've seen those before. I wonder how they handle. They look good. I wonder if they come in bright pink...

Thanks for sharing a photo of my bike! The link you provided is great and if you want to read about how I got this beast home, you can check out this story too:

It was built by Tom LaBonty here in Portland and he could build a pink one if you ask nicely. Here's his website:

This one handles really well. It's a little weird to ride at first. The front end is so far out in front of you that you can't watch it while you ride. If you do, it'll make you think you need to over-correct for your steering. The best thing to do is ignore the front of the bike and just watch your handlebars or the horizon. If you do it feels a lot like any other cruiser or bike with a front fork that's angled forward - slow and wide turning but a smooth ride. If you keep your eyes out in front it's a real trip too: it looks like the front wheel of the bike is swinging around wildly in your peripheral vision.

It's weird but easy to get used to quickly.

If you have any other questions, let me know!

How does it handle with a heavy cargo in it?
Definitely a bike to put on the "bike to try" list.
