Oh, its just clearance. I am happy with the pivot where it is now. I would only move the wheel a little forward, make a little place, so I can thighten the bolts better. The negative trail would increase, but we are talking of about 2cms or something.Hi Dirk,

* redo the pivot, and use a BB for it instead. I'm really not happy about the current situation: the pivot is too near to the front wheel, and not really detachable.
When you say too close to the wheel, why is that? Would you rather have the pivot under your seat, or is it a clearance issue?
When welding aluminum I always preheat the whole piece for flow and stress relief, but steel benefits from it as well; I think that the front part might fit in my oven - I'll have to measure. A pro welder I know has two ovens in his shop...
Right. Give me your adress, i send it to you!
