  The handlebars are constructed of 3/4" electrical conduit attached to a shortened steering head tube and bearing assembly welded to an adjustable bracket. Underseat steering is quite difficult to install and operate compared to conventional handlebars, but I wanted something radical. There can be absolutely no free play in this type of steering, which means frequent checks. I took these photos with a cheap Aiptek camera, this picture most closely resembles the actual color of the bike. I have a Sony Cybershot now, maybe I'll do 'em again.
