Aw. Don't wait until you are older! take advantage of speed and comfort *now*. Then again, these types of cycles will only get cheaper as the years pass. We just need a couple of companies to start a proper mass-production-way-of-thinking-shift, and the prices will drop down to the level of the other fine bikes posted here.

Thanks! I'm quite happy how it turned out, considering the front was the first time I ever laid glass-fibre. The tailbox was bought from a company that makes them for low-racer recumbents, and luckily fit the back of the Nomad seat perfectly.

I do have an issue with the windshield... there appears to be a dead spot of air just before the windshield. At 40+kph after a rain shower, the rain drops don't move at all from the front of the windscreen - I gotta figure out how to get some airflow there, otherwise nighttime driving in the rain will be dangerous. I suspect I will just have to break down and use a windshield wiper, like the standard Leitra Velomobile uses. But that is for another thread!

It's in German, so I think they came from a recumbent dealer in central Germany, possibly from the Cab-bike people. I got it for free from the Leitra shop in Denmark. No idea what the price would be, but I guess you could find out better than I from a printing company local to you.
