    newbie with aspirations!

    Hi Tom, I've always known the Tadpole configuration as Reverse Trike for some reason - probably because it's the opposite of a typical kids trike! Haven't really taken inspiration from anywhere, just taken a basic human frame, sat it on top of batteries and then made a slippery form over the...
