Redneck Recumbent

Don't know if you've seen this...

What's known as an MBB (moving bottom bracket). Didn't really need the seat stays left original rear triangle that's now up front. Will be fun learning to ride it. Is it one you've made or a pic you have seen on net?

Looks a bit front heavy? 2 miles max on that seat before 'arse-megeddon'?

Its a pic I found on a forum I frequent. I'll try and find a link if you like?

I keep an eye on Atomic Zombie and Bentriders online. Think Twinkle hangs out on those as well. Seems a bit tardy to not make a decent seat once all that work has been done creating the bike.

Cheers. Made one of these a while back https://sites.google.com/site/recycledrecumbents/.

Thinking about a 'stick' bike next but other projects keep getting in the way.

Here's a bike by a guy called Irv Jamison over in the USA. Same idea. Nicely done.

Just an iteration of a Cruzbike.

But a clever iteration make of scrap for no cost, that's the interesting bit.

Home built and I like that - very individual regardless of design. I read he brazed the frame which makes it look neat. I don't have access to oxy/acc sets so my creations are gas cooled MIG. The thread has inspired the acquisition of a dead BSO MTB which will be meeting my angle grinder soon. Another build is planned.

your right I spend a lot of time on atomic zombie , or fb , currently l am waiting for the warmer weather to breathe life into my old bones , the wood burner looks more inviting than a cold old garage . Still it must get warmer soon , regards twinkle

Not likely anytime soon up here! Tools in workshop too cold to handle. Light snow again today

It's running at 5 degrees down here during the day , went for a ride yesterday , had to buy a pair of gloves as my hands went blue.
tried to repair the garage door today but the filler wouldn't go off.
