http://allyoucanupload.webshots.com/b/2033386796795190197 Built a lot different than the ones in the builders gallery. The bike has full suspension it sets a lot higher and and does not that easy to peddle. May be I should weld the fork and make it a rear steer instead? Then I will build the spinn cycle like the ones in the gallery. Maybe they work better? I never rode one maybe they are just hard to ride?

An interesting take on the SpinCycle theme, Willy. I've built 2 so far, & I love 'em!
The first one started out as a regular SpinCycle, then became a SWB delta when I added the trike wheels to the rear. I left it that way, cuz to me, it was just more fun as a regular trike.

On the second one, I never built it as a SpinCycle. Didn't put any castors on it. It was a SWB delta, right from the start!

That is a sweet spinn cycle. That is the way I will build the next one. You have some other really nice bikes.

Thanx, I like yours, too. I love the way you used the suspension bike on it. Makes me wanna build ANOTHER, like maybe a hybrid of the 2 styles! :D

I see that the castors are not angled forward at all. The plans show them forward about 15 or 20 degrees. Perhaps that will help the rideability? Either way, its very cool! I want to build my son one of these :)

I think that it might be a combination of things. I am glad you like it. The next time you see it I think it will be rear steering and I will start a fresh one. Good luck on the one you build for your son.

And if the "classic" SpinCycle does not give you motion sickness, your could always try the "Vortex" version...

You start a spin, then lean back to remove the drive wheel from the ground, leaving you out of control on 4 casters.
Best to consult a physician or psychiatrist before use!

I am going to try a new seat on the spinn cycle and see how that works. Will let you know how it works out and post new pictures.
