Hello Everyone,
Posting here as it didn't seem to fit any other topic. Although I did see an old thread regarding a trike.
I've followed Cruzbike since just the kits were offered, wishing I could ride one. However I have balance issues and need a trike, so I've been riding a tadpole style for the last 10 years. Lately it was getting difficult getting on and off. Hip replacement, back, and knees so I went with a delta trike the end of last season.
It's a Lightfoot Ariel, Lightfoot's answer to the Kett
Not sure about that, but so far I like it, but it is what it is. A delta with a seat height in the 20" range.
I've been seeing a lot of tilting deltas showing up lately. Most homebuilt, but a few weeks ago Raptobike showed a proof of concept of a rear tilting module. It would be available for both the low racer and mid racer Raptobikes. The mid racer has a seat height in the 20" range. So that gave Me some hope.
I've been doing a lot of research and quite a few tilting deltas. The two I like are a nice French MBB tilting trike homebuilt and Bill Bates tilting attachment for His Zox clone. Bill's attaches to the rear triangle. Looks good.
Anyone have any thoughts about building a Cruzbike conversion and building a tilting attachment for it or doing a conversion on one of complete bikes? :idea:
Best Regards
Jim
