Really cool idea man. How's it ride?

Thanks. I think it's been fun to ride. At least so far the amusement factor wins over increased weight, rolling resistance or whatever. The 2" tyres seem to handle well on the wide rims.
Looking at numbers, the longer fork and smaller wheels balance each other out pretty well, so the geometry should still be closer to a road bike than an MTB. The bottom bracket is lower than originally, but no pedal strikes yet, and for the kind of riding I do I don't really expect it to be an issue.
