Very cool homemade carbon fiber recumbent trike

I emailed this enterprising builder, and he wrote back his improvements since the web page above was written, and attached the second photo.

Many thanks for the compliments. As you will see from the attached pic I have added a "Tail" box which carries tools, light shopping, and a battery for an LED lighting system. Also note the front fairing. I added this to create a more "finished" look but it has also definitely improved top speed and it is extremely light in weight. While the picture doesn't make it obvious the main frame has been completely redesigned to reduce the number of parts and increase stiffness. Yes I have finished making carbon fiber Kingpins for the steering assembly however just haven't had time to install them yet.
The steering is a horizontal movement fore and aft. From lock to lock is approximately 6". This makes for a highly responsive steering that requires only about 1/4" movement to switch lanes.
