I didn't do any build videos, I only had a few photoshop over lays of a couple of bikes on what to expect when I cut them up and bolted them together. The bike on the right is a Action Bent Brand manufactured bike, it is not a DIY. Only the bike on the left is a DIY, FYI.
@@Scottslookingabout Scottslookingabout 9 hours ago That's the one I like, is your DIY one on the left. Great welds! . Mig or Tig? Anything different you would do if you built another one? "I only had a few photoshop over lays of a couple of bikes on what to expect when I cut them up and bolted them together." Now that's one helluva an idea! Just letting you know, I am going to "steal" your idea. ;)
@@deltafour1212 Ya! I took pictures of me sitting in a chair in a position I would be in riding a recumbent took pictures of the bikes I was going to use all in the same photo shoot session, camera on a tripod, bikes and chair I used to sit in all at the same distance, cut and paste everything up first in photoshop before making my first cut into metal. I did no welding, weldless, all bolt up. photo links: flic.kr/p/2nysgpw flic.kr/p/2njq7mY
@@deltafour1212 1/4 mile stretch 120ft drop I had it up to 31mph but I could have smashed 5 more mph out of it but it gets squirrelly with the cranks on the front forks, technically challenging to smash the pedals at high speeds. For a bolt up assembly I couldn't ask for a better setup than this!
@@michaelphalen8759 it's a 26er fat bike fork with 135mm hub space, and I hung the rear triangle in front of it, zoom in on it in this photo: flic.kr/p/2pXdXZ4
1:18 shows the mounting, the fork in the video is fat bike 26er with 135mm hub spacing, so no alteration needed to fit 26 mountain bike tire or 700x25c tire, depending on use, I currently have a 24er fat bike fork on it to be as aero low as possible fitting a 26"x1" tire for road bike use. This is what it current looks like with a 26" x 1" tire 24" fat bike fork. flic.kr/p/2qowoRR
Great set up.Just goes to show with a little ingenuity and some patience you get yourself a cool bike.Well done man.
Awesome build 👏
Gorgeous! You have really inspired me to build one. You have video's showing you building these?

@@Scottslookingabout Pretty ingenius. How fast did she go and how well did she steer? Would you do anything different if you built another one?
