| My son, Eli, wanted a recumbent to race on several years ago so I started planning and built this with my brother, Carl's, help. It is a clwb with a relatively high bottom bracket. I see it as a stick bike for a smaller person, a lwb | Bacchetta. It is also inspired by Stephen Delaire's Rotator Pursuit. It is constructed of 4130 aircraft chromoly tubing and a shortened fork. An inline skate wheel has been slotted and used as the idler wheel. | |
| I want to thank Stephen Delaire for giving me the seat from a bike that he made for his daughter. The fairing is one of a kind, made from a fixture that no longer exists. It is a small version of the Windwrap® ST fairing. | The wheels are 16" (349 bead seat diameter). Check out the spokes. The front has 16 paired spokes. The rear has 16 spokes on the drive side and 8 on the left side. My wheel builds are inspired by a book called The Spoking Word by Leonard Goldberg, out of print. | |
| The handle bar is a simple T shape that connects to the steering tube with an old seat clamp from a diamond frame. This allows the handlebars to move up and down as needed. |
