Projectitis
100 mW
Hi all,
I could hunt down a local ELF owner and take a few measurements myself, but I'm in New Zealand and I'd be surprised if there was more than a single one in the whole country
I've found several photos (attached), some nice quality, of the Organic Transit ELF. However, it is difficult to get any reference for the size. I'm trying to determine the aluminium square tube size that OT have used for the various structural members, most notably:
- The two that run aft alongside the rear wheel
- The main fore member that holds the bottom bracket
At a guess I would say the two rear are 40mm x 3mm (or 4mm) and the front is 50mm x 3mm (or 4mm), but because the ELF is so big, the size in the images may be misleading. Also, the bottom bracket goes right through the front tube, so 50mm might be too small. Then perhaps they are 50mm and 60mm respectively?
I'm building my own trike (not ELF) and thought using the same size tubing as the ELF would be a pretty safe bet.
Rather than guess from the photos, are there any ELF owners who could take a few measurements for me?
Much appreciated!
