Expect to add about 9 pounds to your donor bike
The bike is unsuitable for short legged riders
I like the looks of the cruzbike. I have a pretty decent Specialized Y frame MTB that would be a quality donor bike. I recently had a bad accident on the MTB, resulting in a fractured neck and some nerve issues. So, I'm giving up mountain biking and the recumbent position would be good for my neck. Somehow seems serendipitous to convert this MTB to a recumbent.
BTW, I'm 6' tall with 34" inseam (haven't measured my X-seam yet). I would guess that I'm OK leg-length wise?
