So I've built and posted this in the doodles thread a few days ago:

But I really wasn't 100% satisfied with it, as it only looked good from specific angles.

Back to the drawing board I went and came up with a far more substantial successor:

Comparison with the old trike frame:

I'm far more content with this one overall.

Do the wheels actually turn? Really impressed with that wheel construction method!

It reminds me of the bikes dropped from the copper chopper in the starting section of the Lego movie - kudos old chappe.

Yes they do! Although the front wheel has a lot more trouble with rolling because of this piece getting into the tire's way:

I think that issue can be solved though by replacing it with this piece:

Thing is I just don't have any of those spare currently.

Also I've uploaded instructions if anyone wants to build his/her own:

Totally rad and compact design! Love that the wheels actually spin; bonus studs for you!
