Speculoos Recumbent HPV ?

Quoted message said:

I suppose that everyone has seen this you-tube video... I've probably
watched it a dozen times in the last few days. I tried googling for
the builders website, but came up empty. Does anyone know if this is a
production bike or an all custom speced one? Anybody have a link to
the builder? I've looked over many recumbents over the last 7 years or
so, but none have moved me part with my money yet. This one really
appeals to me!

Hi, Beer...

It's almost certainly custom-built. The over-the-shoulder frame design
would make it very hard to adjust to a different sized person. It kind
of resembles Rob English's Hachi:

but it's certainly different. Rob works for Bike Friday in Oregon now,
so you might get some information that way.

On the other hand, the rider of the Speculoos posted a comment to the

Hey,
Thanks for the link! I wrote the guy (Marc) a short message. Hopefully
he will respond.
