Larry's
Velo 
This
is Larry's velomobile. He has a littel windshield he put on it, but it isn't
pictured here. Some intermediate steps are listed below, as well as on Larry's
site.
| This
is the mock-up of the fairing after being built up with pink styrofoam, and then
hollowed out and shaped. | | | He
couldn't wait until he built the frame for it, so he plopped teh progressed fairing
on his CF trike to see what it
would look like. Looks good :) | | | This
is the frame that Larry built for his velo. All mild steel square tubing,
fully suspended with homemade compact struts built in to slightly oversized kingpins. | | | The
custom struts are made from delrin bushings sliding on 1/2" steel bolts using
automotive valve springs. | | | To
the right is a close up shot of the kingpin housing that doubles as the strut
housing. The machined AL spacer on the bottom of the kingpin slides up into
the housing, guided by a delrin bushing. Bulldozer type steering attaches
to the brake caliper mount. | |
