Starting out on one of these avoids the need for training wheels when going to the bike. And what is gong to build guns more than having no mechanical advantages. BEAUTIFUL Beyond the rules!

What's the rule for the color of the bushing between the frame and the unifork? It appears to be matching the bars and saddle, not a bad choice. It has to be said, though, that you can't just follow <em>some</em> rules; one is either in compliance with them or not. There's not really a middle ground here. This little punk is obviously reckless in his youth, a phase many of us go through. All we can do is hope he comes around before he hurts someone or himself even more. @Marko

Points there, for sure. @john

He or she is on the right track providing the socks are not too high. The youth deserves some credit for heading out on two disc wheels and the handle bar color match the saddle color.

So, yes, it is a curricle! Thanks for stopping by. @bob
