Katanga WAW #333 for sale with custom paint job and high specifications. St Andrews, Fife, Scotland.

This velomobile is great for maintenance (as the nose and tail come off), and can fit a wide variety of people due to the seat & boom design. I'm 6'4 and can fit in, even with the hood closed and foot hole covers in place.

Specs:

Year of manufacture: 2017
Long nose (N1) with 2 lights, no SPAI. T3 tail with rear suspension (coil/air with adjustable rebound and lockout). Full aramid/carbon body, nose & tail.
Extras - also comes with: spare race hood, spare manhole cover, new electronics circuit board (spare) from Katanga, custom designed cover from Radical Design
2x Ventisit seat cushion (single layer, and dual layer)
90mm SA drum brakes
20" (406) front wheels, 26" (559) rear.
Custom artwork by DarkCustom http://darkcustom.co.uk
Gearing: currently 56/42/28T triple up front, 11-36 on rear (have also used 11-34)
Thorn 127mm cranks
SRAM TT bar end shifters
Jagwire brake and shifter cables

Reason for sale:

It's a great velomobile, with very high quality fit & finish. Unfortunately it doesn't fit into the lift that I have to take on my commute, so I end up using my old Alleweder instead which does fit. As a result, the WAW hasn't had so much use since lockdown finished...
I am the 2nd owner - first owner was in Wales. I got it delivered by a man in a van for £400 (as this was just at the start of lockdown).

£5500 ono

Velomobiles are an unusual site on the roads. This one is even more striking - the previous owner was an Avengers fan. You will get comments!

Have you sold your WAW ?

The WAW is still available. The battered old Alleweder is getting all the use - as it fits in the lift on my way to work.
