I’m sure it’s very responsive in it’s handling but I wouldn’t want to go to fast with it built that way!

I’ve seen that several times before. It’s a common mistake but usually with BMX style bikes in my experience.

Thanks for making me feel bad. I can honestly say that the thought didn’t even cross my mind, Fritz. My daughter and I (that’s her hand in the photo) just had a giggle, snapped the photo and moved on.
Come to think of it, though, I now remember fixing her best friend’s bike about a year ago that had the same reverse fork build. It was also a department store bike, so it must be hereditary.

I wonder how that reverse fork bike would ride Did you try to mention it to store staff?
