now I have a reason to start.
Followup: made two mid-drive axles and sent them to Joel for nominal cost. I can make more easily enough if any one needs one.
I know it has been several months but if you are still available to fab and sell a couple more... I'd take you up on it with gratitude. Sounds like it would be good to bank a couple.

I am getting a Rotator Pursuit delivered Monday. It is the one I had and sold 20+ years ago! I sold it as I got hit with arthritis and thought it too hard to get up off of. A few years later, new drugs and I am 99% arthritis free. Been kicking myself for selling that Pursuit for a long time now. I wrote to Mt Airy Bikes owner Larry back up in Md near where I Iived back then as he has a zillion bikes and a lot pass through there. I asked him to keep an eye out for one. Next day he replies he just got one in an estate, sends pics, and it is my old bike. I created and ran the Recumbents.com web site for years and had put the URL down both sides of the frame and there it was so no doubt it was mine. Larry stripped it, had it powder coated and sent it down to me. So after all this time and effort it sounds like I should try to get a spare axle or two!

While emailing I mentioned I had always loved a Kingcycle he had that I test road 20 years back there. Still had it. I got it. Oh, I also always loved Ryan Vanguards. OK, shipping it tomorrow. :-) When the bug bites the second time it bites HARD :-) This all adding to the three recumbents on had already.
