Tricyclists:

I have a tricycle conversion kit and could use some advice on sizing the frame for one of this winter's projects. Intuitively (yeah, that's dangerous...), it would seem that a smaller frame might allow one to hike over more easily when cornering. As ever, idle speculation and anecdotes are welcome absent actual experience.

Anybody have a drum brake front wheel lying around? Or perhaps has tried two levers (R&L) tied to a single front centerpull caliper?

Thanks,
