I like this very much. Can you give us a few more pictures, especially of
the underside of the back so that we can see more of the construction.
I am building my python with interchangeable rear frames for both single
rear wheel and two rear wheels. I will try to post some construction pics
next week. I am also building an adjustable seat back so that I can adjust
the incline.

I agree with Jurgen about the trike: " is great for shopping and cruising
around. The construction
is very simple and besides the deltas here maybe the simplest way to build a
trike" . But i disagree with : " really poor performance if you want to go
fast around corners or if you have lots of potholes and bumps along the
road".
The python-trike i ride is fast enough for me (30/32 kph on the flat), and
fast cornering isn't my cup of tea anyway (90 degree turn, 25 kph max,
faster and it tips over). So, maybe a little unstable at 32+, and in fast
corners at 25+, but very easy, highly manouvrable in the city and very
relaxed to ride at "standard" recumbent speed outside the centre. Thats all
i ask for (but maybe its the age, 51 ;-) ).
Greetings,
henk.
