Nahh, I'm enough of a liability on two wheels, let alone three.
What half-velomobile? Sounds intriguing!

{useful info}Many thanks for your time replying, very interesting and helpful.
So? Ballpark figure? If I said £850 is that way too high, or within a negotiation range?Well, I would love to buy a Windcheetah for £850. I guess it would depend on the condition of the bike. That said I'm surprised at the sizing, I was ignoring the possibility of buying it as I wouldn't expect to fit something that Mike used to ride.
fd3: Speedy will go through a standard house door (30 inches?) but it's tight, and if you have limited wiggle-room behind the door, or a house layout which involves tights turns, say from hallway to room, you might struggle.Yeah, I had a google and I reckoned that would be an issue. I might nail some bits of wood together to simulate the issue, I think it would be forwards on it's side and hope that lifting it vertically I could get it through.
Crikey, No.175? Mine is No.176 and the main difference is that I think mine was made out of bits while Bob Dixon was experimenting with various adaptations to take 406 wheels - it has different kingpin castings and a change of angle to accommodate the different axle height.
The Windcheetah I have is No. 209 and had the 17" wheels. I have now built it with 406 wheels, and, as it is a loooong frame, I still get close to grounding the bottom bracket on speedbumps.When you say grounding the bottom bracket, do you mean the crossmember? That bit (or the it just under the seat) seems the most likely to ground on my homebuilt trike.
