:cry: :cry: :cry: I crashed my bent.

First time out after painting it I hit some black ice in a corner... next thing you know I was sitting on my @$$ on the road.
Only minor road rash on the butt... the bike suffered a smashed shifter and I bent the pivot for the underseat steering, this crimped the main tube.

But it's all fixed now:D :D :D The bike that is my butt still hurts.

Didn't use plans... I looked at a lot of information online and pretty much made it up as I went along:crash:

This site inspired my design... check out bike No 2 it's the one I studied most.
Click Here For Info (http://www.ihpva.org/people/tstrike/home.htm)

Other than that try Home Built (http://www.recumbents.com/home.htm) or do a search for home built recumbent on Google. :D

When I get some pics of mine I will post them but it might be a little while yet.
