Chalo seems to like his Culty, so *for him* the wheels are in the right
place.

I don't ride a Culty. I simply pointed it out as a leaning, high-
riding trike when Andre complained that other leaning trikes were too
low. I expect that the idiosyncrasies of tilting and rear steering
trump all generic concerns about delta versus tadpole layout-- whether
good or bad, there is no other machine to compare to the Culty from a
functional standpoint.

I think that Andre's case against delta trikes is circumstantial; the
few that carry their riders low and between the rear wheels (e.g. the
Hase Lepus and Kettwiesel trikes you have already mentioned) are good
handlers on a par with similarly low-slung tadpoles. The practical
drawback to these is that the best place for carrying loads is
occupied with the rider, but that is the tadpole trike's predicament
as well.
