I hadn't even thought about building a bike until I saw how much fun you were having Frank. Since the last time I was on here about two weeks ago I found the RecycledRecumbent site and that gave me the idea to build one of his Mach II bikes using parts from a Trek mountain bike. What I built is a long wheelbase type with the front steering tube flipped giving it more rake on the front wheel to eliminating some of the tiller affect. It's not totally finished but I was able to ride it for the first time today. Even though I still have to bend the forks a little more to tune the steering, it's already a blast to ride!
