I'm working on 'something'....

...it came to me last night just as I was about to nod off...now I've lost some sleep because I got so damn excited about it...it has to do with geometry and origami...and it'll be 'light', too...the results will be pure sex for your 10R...wish me luck!

Please sleep once every 72hrs. It'll keep things in perspective...

The reason its taking a little longer is due to these self-imposed design goals:

1) K.I.S.S.

2) Use existing holes, bosses, and maybe fasteners

3) No cutting/drilling/fileing of body-work or frame

4) Make easily reversible mods that could bring your bike back to stock configuration with no trace

5) I also gotta work for a living, eat, and get some sleep 'sometime'...

...OH BOY!!!...I'm that much closer to my proto-type!...I'm so very excited!...there may be some durability issues of one of the components, but I think I have a solution for it...did I mention that I'm excited???

...all I can say is that it'll be 'light', reversible with no permanent mods to the bike, asthetically pleasing, absolutely functional, and hopefully (relatively) inexpensive...it may take some 'audience participation' to keep the price down whether I market the kit or you roll your own...and all the parts should be readily available...in fact, I was just blown away with the discovery of one of the components...never thought I'd find it 'there'...be patient, my friends...this could be a good thing until someone comes out with something better...

...laff now mr. ...I have a life...I just don't have enough of me to go around and enough time in the day to do all the stuff I need to do...I mock-fitted one of the components...'passable' for a home-grown project...I'm sure the big-buck manufacturers will eventually make a better component, but until then, this might please some of you
