I am new to the Strida bikes and have just purchased, what I believe to be, an MK1. Both pivots broke as soon as I mounted the bike. I am planning to machine some new parts out of aluminum. If your bike has the same parts, it wouldn’t be hard to make copies. However, the project will probably take me a while to get completed.
I will also be doing away with the original handlebars and switching it over to regular bicycle bars with a stem. If I can figure out a good upgrade for these crappy pivots, it sounds like it could be very helpful to a number of people. I really like the design of this bike, but those weak pivots sure bring them down in a hurry (literally).
