Recumbent bike conversion ?
Retro Bob wrote:
I have an opportunity to step into a vintage upper end mixte frame bike. I'm thinking that it's a natural for a recumbent conversion since the frame is already structured in the right way... the upper seat tube and upper rear stays could easily be eliminated leaving a nice low platform to build on. Anyone know of any project sites for recumbents in general or maybe specifically with a mixte frame base ? Thanks, Bob Start he http://www.ihpva.org/Builders/ http://www.wisil.recumbents.com/wisil/ -- Tom Sherman |
