Bikes: M5 recumbent, long tail converted specialized

This is the last iteration of my 2nd home built long tail.

I use to take my son to his Tae Kwon Do training session and my daughter comes along. There is a steep nasty hill and no way around, but we don't complain! Swaping the cranks and cassette gave me the real low gears I needed. We often stop for groceries at the organic food shop.

Wheels are 700c.




I've posted a very thorough ilustrated tutorial on the build:

This was my 2nd build. It would have been a lot more difficult without Bike Forums. This thread rocks:

I'd like to express my gratitude to everyone who contributed, and also to those who developed the xtracycle concept in the first place. A simple idea that makes a big difference.


all the best
