Mr. Walker, dainty little mouse that he is (stifle that, you lot!), does no t wish to hype his own framebuilding on-list...but he informs me that the tricycle pictured is fillet brazed in the finest KOF tradition. I'm sure he also used the not-so-KOF oversize tubing so oldsters or folks like me (immature and yet aging rapidly) can still make out the frame if we squint. This machine is destined for an aspiring Paralympian. All you folks who didn't go look at the photo below should now feel comfortable doing so.

Hey, while you're there, take a peek at the track tandem I mentioned earlier. It's "killer." The trike is, as I said, hidden behind it.

Hey, Don, could you build a KOF-style lugged version of this frameset?

And yes, lugged construction is indeed available. Betcha he'd even make it with classically slim tubing, too.
