    Yes they are. The rims are 4" wide and the tyres have a round-ish contact area of 3" across. I may swap out the rear tyre for a full 4" rounded version.

    Well, after going over my plans again and again, I'm going back to build the Marauder after all. I've got all the parts now and know what to do. Stay tuned!! :)

    Sorry to inform you all, but this project won't be happening after all. I've decided that the roads in the UK and lack of safe cycle paths is no place for this low bike to go. So I'm shelving it for now, until my situation changes in the future. I will however, be building a tall-ish cargo bike...

    Thanks for the feedback so far people. I had been working on a rear/lean steer trike, but I think in reality, any bump in the road will try to turn the bike. I've gone back to two wheels, as I just love it when you're low down and leaning in.

    Hi people, This is my first post on here, as my old account wasn't used much and I've been doing other things in my life. I've decided to build a version of Brad's awesome 'Marauder' lowracer, but having a velomobile body shell built over it. I work with a leading British kit car manufacturer...
