Well, you might look at http://mnhpva.org/meetings/Aug_02/RF.html for
an article on Ryan Fuchs' trike. I saw it several times during the
building process and have tried it. It's a lovely little thing, but it
was a lot of work, with tricky bits that weren't obvious from the
engineering drawings. You would either want to have complete plans, a
really good engineering background, or an experienced mentor. Best
results might be from a combination of all three
