Yes Vi, you have a nice example of a fixed front. I just wondered: if you steer
that bike, does the pivot point go up? I would guess yes, but I think your
upper body is falling into the corner and making the overall CoG go down. What
is your experience with your bike?
Are you still experimenting with this bike? I think the pivot point should be
more to the rear (for more body rise when cornering and less pedal steer). Not
sure about the pivot angle though... seems you need to lean quite a bit for a
tight corner, right?

I have a video showing that front \ back configuration is not self stabilizing,
and requires arms to stay upright, at ~1:30sec,
