Radical FWD lowracer/streamliner  opus_the_poet@juno.com

I'm building a radical lowracer, and before I get too far involved I would
like to know if this has been tried in the past and if it was did it work
as a ridable bike.

The bike I'm building has the Bottom Bracket mounted to the fork like a
moving BB bike, but the seat is also mounted to the fork so it stays in
the same plane as the BB. The handlebars are mounted to the frame and
depending on how you look at it either move the back wheel or pivot the
fork like a regular bike. From looking at the design on paper it should be
ridable, but there's many a slip...

It looks like the rear wheel wil have to be outside the shell on the
streamliner version of the bike, but the front wheel shouldn't be too hard
to seal up without restricting the steering lock, since it doesn't move
relative to the seat/shell/Bottom Bracket.
