Tom, I just put a couple of pictures in the photos area under
Devious56 that might help you. On the front of the green Expedition
is a little device we have put together that we call an Elder Assist,
and is nothing more than a quill type bicycle stem and a piece of cut
down handlebar. The stem is a 1 inch one that goes into the frame,
and the beauty of this is that you make it what ever size you want
depending on the stem that you buy.

Hope this helps you a bit,
David Von Stein
Middleburg, Florida
