I won't argue with you on that one. I've never seen a copper tube frame before so this just might be a first.
I got a little work done tonight. The whole frame is mocked up and I realized I can shorten the frame up quite a bit. I had a rough idea of what was needed to clear the front wheels during steer but, once I had the frame stuck together, I could see my estimate was way to much. I'll be able to take about 7 or 8 inches out of the length and that will reduce the springiness of the frame.

Moving the front steer assembly back will be a good thing. This moved back about 4 1/2 inches from my initial design.

That's a 1 inch spacer under the rails...

This is what the rear axle hubs will look like.

I have a few alterations to do before I start soldering. it's nice working with the copper as it all plugs together before it gets "welded"...
