This is pictures of my last bike project :

dual 26" wheel front suspended trail worthy recumbent.

The seat is Optima. I has 8" of fore-aft adjustement, and angle is
adjustable too. It has huge carrying capacity potential under the seat and
on the rear wheel. Unlike the Orca (Optima), the lack of rear suspension
makes it easy to attach a rack on the rear wheel, and it climb verry well
too. ( no pogo)
Seat to BB height is a little less extreme than the Orca.

With this bike your head is about as high as a DF, so seeing/being seen is
not a problem.
BTW, I'd be willing to sell this bike, if I get a decent price,
I really need money to keep building other bikes!

Nice - reminds me of something.. oh, yes, mine :

You must have a lot of weight on the front wheel?

Actually I'm getting used to the rear suspension, even if it in theory
pogo's a bit, but then again, I'm a spinner. I'm starting to miss a
suspension fork though (uh oh, it's getting expensive). I'm planning for a
frame-mounted rack for mine, build from 10mm steel tube.

Agreed, though I was missed (in both senses) by a Cellphoning trooleydriver
this morning. You can be overseen on anything.

Keep up the good work!
