I have a copy of the Easy Racer plans. Easy to build for a first time project. I also have the Bent-Tech plans. And have found a few sets of plans on the web. Funny thing is I havent used plans to built any of my homebuilt bikes. There is also someone selling plans on E-bay

Where can I find info on the plans you have? Are you willing to sell them?

Go to http://www.recumbent-bikes-truth-for-you.com/homebuilders.html and click the link for the free plans. They are in PDF format and you will need Adobe Acrobat to download it.:)

Not really any free plans here but lots of great information.
Great Recumbent Info Here (http://www.ihpva.org/people/tstrike/home.htm)
Why do you need plans just make it up as you go along based on the information you can find and the stuff you have available.
Worked for me:D
