recumbent trike parts suppliers
Hello all,
I am gathering parts for a homebuilt recumbent trike. I was wondering if there was a company/website that I might be able to purchase parts that I will need, an all in one type of parts store for bikes and trikes. I am really finding it hard to find a hard shell seat, I am leaning away from the pipe frame and mesh seat that I see allot of the homebuilders using. Thanx for any information you can share with me James Johnson |

I'm pretty sure Greenspeed sells Sturmey Archer front hubs, and many people have had success adapting "downhill" mountain bike hubs. Also, Bentrideronline has a homebuilder forum: http://www.bentrideronline.com/messa...splay.php?f=12 Jeff |

How about Greenspeed? They sell just about every component, from frame
tubes to complete frames, and all the trike-specific bits and pieces. http://www.greenspeed.com.au/ |

NaTaS eh...You Little Devil
Try Randy Shulman @ Actionbent in Seattle (don't have the website address), he carries a Hard Shell made by China Mascot TW that is supposed to be quite comfortable and vented, somewhere around $125.00 USD. Power-on-Cycling has/had? Karl Swanson Hard Shells. Milt Turner (Turner Recumbents) in Arizona does a Hard Shell. Velokraft (Germany) used to sell a Kamil Hard Shell, also used by Optima & I think M5. Personally I prefer the Optima (Baron Model) and Hostel Shoppe sells an extension for those with a fear of sliding off and hurting their manhood on the boom. ************************************************** ******** "NaTaS" wrote in message ...

I think you're thinking of Novosport, Joshua URL: http://www.novosport.de They supply composite wossnames, including seat & tailboxes, to HP Velotechnik among others, though IIRC they're the distributors for a Polish operation. The German version of the site has more detail than the English, and includes a trike-specific seat which, natch, I only discovered /after/ having bought and fitted an HP Velotechnik-stylee one to my Trice... -- Dave Larrington - http://www.legslarry.beerdrinkers.co.uk/ World Domination? Just find a world that's into that kind of thing, then chain to the floor and walk up and down on it in high heels. (Mr. Sunshine) |
