In the coming months, I plan to build a few recumbent bikes. I have a few different Bents ( recumbent ) that I have in mind. The Tadpole, ( 2 wheels in front, 1 in rear), Delta ( 1 wheel in front, 2 in the rear ), 2 wheeled Long wheel based and possibly a tandem trike.
This blog is really meant as a way that I can document the different ways I decide to build them and to share my ideas with other builders. I plan to make some mistakes along the way, but this is what life is all about. Live and learn.
Hopefully, when I ask for help, some kind and knowledgeable person will lend a helping hand with some instruction and advice.
I'm only a self taught home shop machinist with a garage full of great tools and machines that I either bought or made myself.
I'm fortune to have own a Bridgeport mill, 10" Southbend lathe, Self made cnc router, Delta Uni-saw, chop saw and wood planer, just to mention a few. I mention these tools not to show off, but to give those people who read this blog a idea what I am capable to making on my own.
I should mention that I have never built a bicycle before. A lot of what I do will be a first for me.
Wish me luck!
