I saw that link several months ago and ever since I have wondered about that floating Aluminum BB.
It would be great for adjusting for different riders inseam...just have to redo your chain length a
lot. I did wonder if the BB would move around when using the cranks really hard, maybe moving off
centre. Beyond the BB issue, looks like a good design for a kit. Perhaps Mikael has seen one in the
flesh. Oh Yeah I have seen a few showing up for sale in Euro-Bent classifieds.

Anything you know would be appreciated.A couple of posters to uk.rec.cycling have bought kits, and IIRC one has just finished putting
his together. Searching for www.dutchbikes.nl in uk.rec.cycling via Google groups should reveal
the score.Dave Larrington - legslarry.beerdrinkers.co.uklegslarry.beerdrinkers.co.ukOpen ↗

Great little intro sentence:
"Ultimate recycling: Turn your old and silly upright bike into a brand new classical recumbent!"
Very PC ! Probably couldn't say that in California. Someone might scream "racist" or some
darn thing!First glance looked like an Optima design to me- the way the seat back is supported with the main
frame tubing. Not bad planning, but somehow stainless steel muffler pipe comes to mind in my case.Chris Jordan Santa Cruz, CA.

One of those is my winter project.

Would you like a review for bentrideronline? I seem to be the second person in the UK to buy one and
the first to have built one!Quoted message said:

364 Euros + 85 Euros shipping (to Canada) = 449 Euros = $509 USD
The ActionBent Jet Stream so favourably reviewed in BentRiderOnline is only going for $600 USD
(+shipping) on eBay: cgi.ebay.comeBayISAPI.dllOpen ↗Seems $100 odd more, gets you a solid bike with a lot less work (which might be a bad thing,
depending on your perspective).Cheers.

Nothing that cheap in the UK though!

I'll be writing an article on the entire build process and on the ride of the bike itself.

Only saw one in the flesh, looked like a decent "classical" SWB. Building one shouldn't be difficult
for anyone who can dismantle and reassemble a bike.Mark van Gorkom.

When do you anticipate the review to appear?

It will be awhile for sure. Not until the winter (or Alleweder season as I will soon call it) comes
and I have enough time to fiddle.Steve Watkin said:
