Working on these as well as the mule train bike. A couple of recumbent bike seats which started as an order for routing on Sean and Horn for routing at Spacetank Studio. Will write more about these later. |
Hi
This shows today's progress on the Mule Train Bike. The main thing that happened was a pair of folding handlebars arriving, and sofar I'm quite pleased with them. I wasn't really concentrating on building this bike today (gardening, giving away a trike, working on some tailboxes as well), but that has worked, its given me a bit of space to think about the rest of the design of the bike, which is now mainly timberwork and painting.
Rest in Peace David Gordon Wilson, a fine pioneer of recumbent cycling.
Regards
Steve Nurse
