tzietz - my plan is to allow for a full body to make it more comfortable in weather extremes and also (hopefully) more aerodynamic.
genkreton- 3 wheels for the stability, i cant balance worth a darn on a standard recumbent and not having to focus on balance should also reduce long travel fatigue (just my theory) also this will be a utility bike so i may have heavy loads and weight shifting greatly affects bicycles.
as for why the 2 in front, simple answer is that it has, in my experience, better handling properties (less likely to tip at high cornoring speeds) and is also easier to build.
anyhow, a few things have changed since my last post in this thread, i have decided not to go with a suspension on my first build. also i received a nice donor bike for free so i have been reworking my plans, now with school out i can focus on building this and hope to get started within a week or so.
