Recumbent bike conversion ?

I have an opportunity to step into a vintage upper end mixte frame
bike. I'm thinking that it's a natural for a recumbent conversion
since the frame is already structured in the right way... the upper
seat tube and upper rear stays could easily be eliminated leaving
a nice low platform to build on.

Anyone know of any project sites for recumbents in general or maybe
specifically with a mixte frame base ?

Thanks,
Bob

I've seen another built on dual 27" wheels- but I can't find the page right now.

Here are some articles of homebuilders, with at least a couple showing
mixte frame conversions:

Thanks boys. Nice links. I think I will go for that bike and
start the plans.

Bob,

Get Bent!

Or, as one of my friends says:
"If it ain't 'bent, fix it!"
