If it comes partially assembled, except the rear wheel and tie, please don't assume that everything is set up correctly. Review the steering - camber, toe in and caster. Tighten, or at least check...

Awesome speeds. I'd love to Catrike with you and Action Lad someday. Too bad we're separated by 1,000's of km. And an ocean.
