Yes, it is VERY attractive as a build and as a concept. The late "Sandman" (John) was looking at doing something like this as his next build.
This is the only other picture that I can find left on the web ?I must say I like the look of this orange delta. Reminds me of the old time race cars with the open wheel's. The knee bulges aren't terribly attractive but the otherwise sloping downward's body should offer good visibility.
Of course:-I like that longabike thing. Has been filed in a hard-to-access section of the brain so it won't spawn yet another project but, I fear it already has, at least for the mental design bit. Must store those videos. Damn, it's got me already.
Then Build, Build, Build. When I last looked they were about 6,000 euros.Of course:-
Normally you would not want that height as it won't corner well ? but it tilts !!!
Normally you would want that height when riding in traffic ? and you can have it , it tilts !!!
Normally you would want that height for easy mounting and to get out of the dirt ? and you can have it , it tilts !!!
seems like win - win - win ?
On the cross axel a subframe is attached, with the pivot point for the tilting, the suspension is between the subframe and the frame.Can't figure out how suspension works though ? only 1 shocker.
Rather tempting as a goal. I know it has 26/20 config, but I happen to have some nice wide 36Hole 24" Unicycle Rims and that would be a nice option I think. Fat-tyred cruiser.On the cross axel a subframe is attached, with the pivot point for the tilting, the suspension is between the subframe and the frame.
This video is clearer.
Note the tiltlock on the subframe to prevent the bike from collapsing.
There is also a u-bracket for max/min tilt.
Hold that thought Paul. I really must get LOKI sorted and this other Delta up and running first.Pegasus/DannyC
Ah just the same as a beam axle then , so no independent wheel suspension on the back.
Dan I have a selection of both 20" and 24" suspension forks ? interested ?

Aye Long live the delta I say ....Something about a delta always looked more "right" to me.
If I finally get to do a velo one day, it will be a delta for sure.

All the finesse of an "Invacar", Britains answer to the "Trabant".I've always thought the opposite. I'm old enough to remember the Reliant Robin and that was more than enough to cloud my views. The old Morgan then confirmed my views. I fully appreciate there's a difference twix car and pedal but the basic physics remains.
I hardly think you are comparing like for like ?I've always thought the opposite. I'm old enough to remember the Reliant Robin and that was more than enough to cloud my views.
