I finished this one off some time ago. Unfortunately, not long after finishing it, my hips gave up and I had to have it replaced, and so began a five year battle trying to fix the surgeon's stuff up. Eventually, I sold it, but I did enjoy some good rides on it before parking it. I won't be making anymore though, although my hip has been replaced, again, and it presents no more problems, it's just too hard getting out of the thing and is too much of a battle for my weary old body now. Although I did discover if you race up to the finishing spot and jam on the brakes, the momentum forward continues, literally throwing me out of the seat, providing I get the timing right.
So, when finished it sported:
9 position adjustable suspension,
27 speeds,hydraulic disk brakes,
tank steering,
42 degree seat back,
Lumbar support.
20" wheels at front,
700c wheel at back,
luggage rack,
Water bottle rack with adjustable drinking tube,
Deore cycle components,
Delrin bearings in steering arms and steering bushings,
Left and right threads on tie rod ends for ease of adjusting,
2 degree caster and camber,
19kgs weight.
It was a good project building this last one, but all good things must end, and so ends my recumbent days, I now have an ebike.
