Lovely. Chain looks a bit slack in the 5th shot, maybe he couldn't
figure out how to make a wooden eccentric BB.

Beautifully crafted, and yet kind of ugly at the same time, in my
opinion.

Still, if the owner wants to give it away to me, I would happily give
it a good loving home!

Oddly enough, was walking back up to King's Cross and the train home
last week (after peering at the recumbents in the BikeFix shop -
again !), trying to figure out how to go about constructing a braced
plywood boxframe 'bent - if Marcos can use it for a lightweight
sportscar chassis - http://www.midlifeclassics.com/marcos.html - then
why not ? At least on the bike you can't set fire to it by fitting the
wrong exhaust :O)

Wobbly John has one built a wooden bent from plans available for $25
from the US. Which reminds me I must dust them off and get a project
started.
