redesign? what?

well, i made a choice today.

the gecko is about to hit the surgery table, and i barely have any parts. i am starting over, maintaining the same concept, but a radical redesign for four main reasons:

a) the most important reason for me is room. as it is now, it is VERY tight for two people. i want to widen it up a bit and have room for a hand operated shifter instead of paddles.

b) a frame that allows for longer front suspension which = a better ride.

c) i want to build a frame that easily accepts a removable hard top or targa top

d) weight reduction. with newly acquired information, i have realized a few unnecessary frame components., and im gonna redesign the frame with narrower tubing. two inch tube is huge.
