I hadn't considered bracing those two points ..... if I did it would have to be demount-able in order to remove the rearwheel.
I have yet to try a rear wheel on the swinging arm to double check that the rear hoop allows enough clearance.
While we are talking rear ends, I dont know whether to go for a traditional rear mudguard mounted within the rear frame loop and padded on top for the passenger to lean over, or a fibre glass seat that spans the rails. what the sp on knee cups ..... guttering?
