Gaskill made great bikes. He's an artist.
Here's another entry for a different build off. It's called Josephine:
Nothing unstable that I see, but the recumbent pedaling position cries out for under-seat-steering, instead of the knees-in-armpits reach, which is not unlike the driving position on older Italian cars, from what I've read. The two top cranks... er... chainrings are puzzling, like that old VW GTI commercial with Peter Stormare; "Vat das dis do?"
"Time to unpimp ze
auto bicycle."
