Bill, don't give up on him. Who knows, you may be saving a life.
But, remember, don't make it work. Make it fun. You might wish to
build a LSEB with 3 wheels from a Recumbent and let him ride it.
Yes, that's a bit out of your own pocket but it just might be fun for
you as well.

I'm not giving up since I can, and do, call him 'kid' since I am 4
years older. Getting him involved in a project build up may be one way
to get him motivated. If we build a work of art (or not art) he will
just have to at least try it.

Just keep me posted. Anything I can do to help just ask.



Well, he's here now and wants to do the Cannondale so I will see how it
goes. His main concern right now is a comfy seat.

Just one thing, think BIG AND WIDE. That should do the trick (grin)

You are actually right on this one. He wants to find a seat that has
springs built in and he mentioned trying to find one off an old Harley(?)
or cruiser bike.
I'm getting closer.

I haven't seen a seat like that in decades. I believe that Swinn used to
have something like that. But you also might consider a seat post that is
cushioned. I think I saw something like that in a bike shop once. If not,
ask the bike shop. They might know how to get one.
