The changes in rake angle and trail due to the 24” front wheel coupled by way of the increase in width at the handlebars (hand bent using a portable pipe bender) has resulted in a bicycle that corners with the stability and comfort of a trike!

Indian Larry (1949–2004) was the inspiration; no front brake (a Brooklyn Suicide Bike) or front fender and designed around cornering for riding in crowed urban areas.
