Sorry, I didn’t really mean my comment as a criticism! Well, bit of fun poking maybe, but no more, I’m honestly impressed, really. You’re obviously doing this to see how much of a bodge you can get away with. And that’s great! I was only being a little bit sarcastic for effect, sorry, mostly I think this is just very impressive dedication to shed-based nutter-engineering – it is a bit nuts, you have to admit.
I’d still not ride it though, I have a kid to pay and a mortgage to worry about. The spoking pattern is the main problem I have with it, it’s uneven and will lead to stress in weird places followed by (possibly sudden unnanounced) collapse.
