What amazes me the most is that all these skilled bike builders don't do enough Web research to find out exactly what is not worth doing. With the HPV archives on the web, I wouldn't spend time and resources building something that has already been proven to have limitations, in this case, the rider will have compromised aerobic capacity.

This kind of thing makes me wonder if recumbents are considered so "toxic" by other bike builders that they cannot be bothered to learn from the mistakes made long long ago by recumbent pioneers. They're loss, of course, but really it's just seems a waste.
