I'm building my second 'bent from a Challenge Focus Sport frame and a "wrong" rear fork (it should have been straight) To get the angles right, i put a 559 front wheel on, and now it's starting to look like a recumbent (a very tall recumbent, but anyway..)
USS SWB Wheel base 104cm (40,9"😉 Seat height 73cm (28,7"😉 (It only works because I'm rather tall - 195cm (6' .. errr something..))
It should be good in the forest, but I don't think I'm gonna replicate the french guys anytime soon..
Torben, that's a sweet lookin' ride. I think you should call it Mary Jane, cause when you're sitting on it you're gonna be pretty "high".<g> "Torben Scheel" <[email hidden]> wrote in message "]news:[email hidden]...

Damn thats pretty, how about calling it the Torben Special?
Somehow "pretty" doesn't correspond very well with "Torben" ;-)
I think it looks more like "robust" or "sturdy". Can't wait to get it on the road. Unfortunately the boom takes only a press-in crankbox, and none of the LBS's carry that. Tomorrow I'll order one from www.zephyr.nl

Its a highly specialized piece of kit that was developed in Middelfart by the National Gas Board. Or maybe it means "HPV speed records". I always seem to get the two mixed up.

Everyone is eating my language.. :-) I shoudn't tell you, but we have a town called middelfart. I guess the tourism there is rather slow..
"Fart" is "Speed". But i could change the text to "Hastighedsrekorder"

I think you get not many mails on that one, no ?
tailwinds (pun intended), Torben
In the U.S.A., there is a town of Intercourse in Pennsylvania(^: AFAIK, no Middlefart though. It was alleged by someone more knowledgeable than I (there are many thousands if not millions in that group)about the WWW, that this will have spammers/spambots sending messages to their own network admin. Likely, now someone will tell me it is nothing and won't work at all.<sigh> Anyway, cool bike!
