We didn't smile. The lights were messed up and we didn't know he was taking the picture. I'd love to see the pics or video of me on stage. I was smiling then for sure!

Thanks for the link. Lots of great work and inventiveness at that show, looking forward to the next one.

I really wish I could be there in person. I appreciate the level of effort and craftsmanship that went into every bike that won a prize at the show but if I were to pick, this one actually stops me at my track to look a bit longer and generates a bit of bike lust...:D

Cool bike for sure

I would love to know how the fork comes off since it looks like the rack is welded to both the fork legs and steer tube clamp. Is the steer tube just a straight tube that slides through everything? I am not sure how confident I would be if that is the method.

Hit the nail on the head. Many of the truss style forks work like that; Jones, Oddity, etc. Rob English has done a number of forks where the steer tube is integrated with the stem and the the fork clamps on to the bottom of the steer tube. Bike Friday does it too on some of there funny little bikes. I know what you mean about not being confident, but it seems to work just fine.

There are three clamps on the steerer tube which seems pretty robust to me.
