Hi Guys,
I love to hear about all the builders out there. I must admit that I ride a Chinkara which is "store bought". During my time on the bike, have found that the 45 degree head tube angle is a bit too laid back for easy low speed handling. It might be an interesting build a Flevo style bike with a 65 to 70 degree head tube. Just be careful to keep the same trail.
Such a bike should be much easier to ride. This would make it better for new comers learn to ride the bike more quickly. It would be interesting to hear about someone that is willing to try this experiment.
