Ian, when I first rode the Eldo that you saw in Mt Pisgah, going 40 +- miles
and the wind hitting it it would scare the heck out of me, it would wobble
and I had to slow down for safety. I replaced the steering head bearings and
I cruised at 80 + at times in the wind in the return trip from North
Carolina, it does not feel as stable as My cal II but it was Ok.

Hey Guys, I just received this info from Frank. Not good news for the Eldo numbers |
