I like the simple tube-in-tube design.
But won't the overall weight kill you on uphill stretches ?
If you ever reskin it, ZoteFoam may be an option - definitely lighter.

Weight is no heavier than most commercial velos. I considered ZoteFoam but just didn't have the patience to work with it at this time. Maybe in the future.

Couple suggestions :
- streamlined fairing aft of your head ;
unless you have a dimpled head or dimpled ball shaped helmet

That's funny. Working on a canopy now for over my head and back to the tail of the frame.

It's a design issue on all velomobiles.
Using holes for the heels is an option (see velomobiel.nl) to lift up the lower body, but it too introduces more drag - .
The holes are doubling as ventilation in summer, but letting the cold in during winter - some folks have covered them with bulged fairings, but these scrape the ground.

Thought about all the possibilities. Decided I wanted no more holes than necessary but thanks for the thought.
