Bummer - I'm a wood worker and seeing that people have built bikes out of wood, just kind of makes it a lot more interesting to build my own. Of course I'd like to build a tricycle recumbent to start with - but perhaps building just the bike you have to figure things out and play with the idea. I'd really like to build a tandem tricycle recumbent after seeing the price for one.
Great - something else to build....
