Maggies recumbent weighed 21 lbs with out peddles and seat cusion. I have studied bicycle geometry for years. Also a great book on the subject is "Bicycling Science" by David Gordon Wilson. It is an excellent resourse for bicycle designers and recumbent builders.
This design gives a bike that is flexy on the front and stiff on the back exactly the opposite of what it should be for combined efficiency and comfort

Nice job on the design. Looks very comfortable, and has a perfect seat angle.
1. how much does it weigh ?
2. how did you know how to configure the geometry for each piece of the bike ?

Looks like you did a great job.
