Hi Jon, Yes my customer is making 10 more of these trikes, there are 6 or 7 currently in his shop. Yes, they get ridden quite a bit, as they handle really well, and are very comfortable to ride in for days at a time... not to mention super-fun fast;-) I agree re: radiusing the inside corners. I might possibly even get rid of the lightening pockets altogether, since the sum of weight saved would amount to only 10 oz or so - this is a heavy trike anyway.
