BAK, very cool site, looks like you do some nice one-off work, my kind of stuff! Yeah, a center-hub front wheel would be trick, but then jumps you into a whole new ballpark with regards to cost. But I do agree with you on the weight of a LL, in terms of I would not put one on one of my road race bikes, too much weight at the outside of your turning arc...but should be just what i need for my LSR bike.
