no cracks, but the rear part of the jaculus is way to rigid. Riding
over anything but asphalt gives a headache because of the vibrations.
I would use smaller tubing for the next one, saves weight and improves
the ride.
For the rear part of a (distant) future brother of the jaculus i was
thinking of two straight tubes from eighter side of the rear axle to
the sides of the pivot. These two should probably be connected just
before the rear wheel (also brake mount) for the top support of the
seat, and at the pivot.
