Most trikes are meant for sedate, casual riding at a modest pace - like the Schwinn Meridian. You're obviously not willing to settle for that.

Then there are the low slung tadpole trikes, made in such small numbers that they might as well be seen as custom bikes. You obvioulsy don't want that either.

Which in all likelihood is the same guy who can build a custom bike from scratch.

Not that bikes are all that complicated, but a generalist fabricator, no matter how skilled, would have to fiddle around a bit to get comfortable with bike parts - and that fiddling time is coming out of your pocket.

My google skills are letting me down, would you care to post a link?
