But, remember, don't make it work. Make it fun. You might wish to build a LSEB with 3 wheels from a Recumbent and let him ride it. Yes, that's a bit out of your own pocket but it just might be fun for you as well. I'm not giving up since I can, and do, call him 'kid' since I am 4 years older. Getting him involved in a project build up may be one way to get him motivated. If we build a work of art (or not art) he will just have to at least try it. Bill Baka Just keep me posted. Anything I can do to help just ask. Well, he's here now and wants to do the Cannondale so I will see how it goes. His main concern right now is a comfy seat. Bill Baka Just one thing, think BIG AND WIDE. That should do the trick (grin) You are actually right on this one. He wants to find a seat that has springs built in and he mentioned trying to find one off an old Harley(?) or cruiser bike. I'm getting closer. Bill Baka |

I believe that Swinn used to have something like that. But you also might consider a seat post that is cushioned. I think I saw something like that in a bike shop once. If not, ask the bike shop. They might know how to get one. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter for private users.

Actually he probably does have one since he has a full 8' x 16' shed of nothing but motorcycles and bike parts. There 3 full motorcycles in there he hasn't seen in about ten years. Also 3 brand new crate motors for some bikes, and an untold number of bicycle parts. Some weekend soon we will have to spend at least a few days just to find out what is in there, then it's time for a digital camera and Ebay for about a month. Then, he won't have any excuses, I hope.
