My First Homebuilt Recumbent
This is the first ever attempt at recumbent building.
It weighed a ton and had rubbish components but you know what... Riding it was about the most fun you can have with your pants on.
It was kinda cool in that I made the front chainwheel set up a quad.
I built this from information found online, including making one of the cogs, it took some fine tuning and adjusting but overall it worked OK.
The seat is made using tubing from an old dining chair and some recycled webbing from seatbelts out of wrecked cars.
The under seat steering handlebar was taken from a disused exercise bike and the bar end shifters were fashioned from some old suicide shifters from a ten speed bike and a chunk of aluminium cut from a crank arm and shaped to fit into the handle bar and hold the lever.
