I probably have to go for a 20inch version (because my inseam is
82.5 bare feet). And I am not sure yet if I go for racing like (reckless
design, fragile and light), or trekking (a packing mule, comfortable).

I have been grazing this mailing list (my compliments to the list. it's
made up out of a really nice group), and found some references about
20inch wheels. I believe Olaf from Sweden is doing such a version (?),
but I didn't see much discussion or drawings.



With 82.5 inseam you might be able to ride a 26" python with narrow
tires.
Alain Branca from Corsica built two prototypes with 2x20".


To tell the truth I am totally leaning over to make a 20inch version. It would look good with my other recumbent ;-)

I have seen the pictures on your website, but also saw that Alain had trouble riding them. Seeing that he also build & rode a 26inch version, it is probably not beginners trouble. It would be nice to know what was wrong with the second prototype...
