One day I was motivated to try to build a recumbent bike based loosely on the groundhugger recumbent.
This was my first frame build, it's not perfect but it's rideable and tracks straight.
I used parts from 13 different bikes, mostly old girls Huffy's I had in the pile out back.
And aside from a few nuts and bolts, I already had everything. So for less than $5, I have a custom recumbent that turns heads everywhere I go.
I'm looking forward to my next frame build
Thanks to everyone who followed along and gave input.
