Ola! Besides commenting on other people's bikes, have spent the last several months building a recumbent for welding practice! Got the plans from the atomic zombie web site. It is made from two cheap huffy mountain bikes that I got at the thrift store. Graylock has built a similar one and posted it here.
Here is the frame partially constructed.
Now a rolling frame!
Next, in riding condition!
Finally, after riding it around for a few weeks to make sure the welds didn't break, bondo and paint and a little pin stripe tape! Rides sweet!
Really learned a lot from this one. Probably will build a jig next time. It is ever so slightly crooked, but you can't tell while riding it. Planning on stretching an old Schwinn next when I find a frame.

Adding a two cycle motor...interesting. Might have to try that!
