My 1st view of a recumbent
Pedal Power 1977 - Rodale Press ... after seeing this, I just had to have a recumbent someday!!
About Me
- Freth
- It seems I can never have enough Recumbents ... made 2 Bentech LWB's, 2 Bentech SWB, 1 Toureasy clone, a LWB lowracer, 1 Mach2, 1 Mach3, 1 BMX SWB, bought a Sun EZ-Speedster, made a DeltaWolf trike, a LongJohn cargo bike, a cargo trike, and a AZ Warrior trike. I LIKE USS! See some of my bikes below ...
Redondo Lowracer
Due to the intermediate jackshaft, this flies as fast as a 26" rear wheel. (co-designed with S&B Recumbents - no longer in business)
Bentech SWB
Bought the Bentech plans, made the jigs, and made this from a Huffy Mtn bike & a muffler pipe. I extended the maintube 2" behind the front wheel. It handled nicely and became the bike I rode most because of ease of transport and visibility in traffic. (Bentech no longer in business)
ALM's LWB
My Wife loved her LWB Bentech ... as you can see by the smile on her face!
TE Clone
TourEasy Clone (found plans on internet). Early on, Gardner Martin did sell plans. Later, he went to selling completed bikes only. Used this bike for about 14 years. Recently I've been pulling parts off of it to use in other projects.
SWB BMX
SWB Fully Suspended Mongoose BMX - this was the first "Fully Suspended" type recumbent that I built .. by adding the front boom onto the BMX bike and changing the seat. Needed a stiffer spring suspension in the rear ... everytime it flexed, the bike changed gear due to the change in chain length. That was kind of disconcerting ...
Sun EZ Speedster CX
This is a much maligned SWB recumbent. I love it! And have had many enjoyable years riding this easy steering bike.
Venice Beach Trike
Jack Baker (S&B Recumbents) made this for my wife, a couple years before he died. She needed something more stabile than a 2-wheeler. Despite the high CG, she has yet to fall over on it.
Another Bentech design SWB
I was building this for a guy, and actually rode it. But he changed his mind, and it is still in the shop.
AZ Delta Trike
I was going to build this racing trike for myself ... but the wife gave it to a grandson. So I put 20" wheels on it instead of 26". The grandsons fight over this racing delta trike. I really like the square tube building concept. Easier to align things.
Modified Delta Trike
Totally changed the rear configuration so the rider sits higher ... and mounted a rear luggage rack that I made
Long-John Cargo Bike
Built from plans on Toms Cargo Bikes website ... still need to hook up the steering and go ride it. ...
Dutch Cargo trike
Great way to go grocery shopping!
Mach3
built based on A.D. Carson plans
AZ Warrior trike
Love riding this now! (Plans from Atomic Zombie). 26" rear wheel, 11-34 MEGARANGE 8-speed cassette on the rear, 22-32-44 cranks on the front.
