Found an axle mount stand in the pile.

Put it on, and just had to see the wheelbase of this next to the Nova.

Then I went for a ride.
Had to get the typical rail bridge shot.

Then I realized, handlebars like this should have firing buttons...

...For playing Space Invaders with the geese at the park.

People are still telling me I should paint it.
I could, but I like it as is. Besides, I'll build a less junkyard version at some point. I can paint that one.

Still trying to decide if I want the mirror back on. The only good place to mount it is the fork.
 
If you're going to build a bike from a junk pile, you may as well take pics of it by a junkyard.

I couldn't get into the yard without a couple steaks for the guard dogs.
And personally, if I buy steaks they'll be for me not the dogs.

I'm really gonna have to decide soon about the mirror. I need it to see behind me, but it sticks off the fork and I'm not sure I like the look.
 
In the finished thread with mere seconds to spare, without a mirror.
I didn't like how it looked, but I had an idea for it that I'll use on version 2.

Thanks everyone for watching and giving input, special thanks to @GuitarlCarl for the idea of lacing the frame. I really like how it turned out.
 
Love this build, so glad you made the finished line!
:41:
Thanks.
I'm actually surprised by the comments I received on this thing.
It's basically a prototype for me to decide if I wanted this style of recumbent, turns out I do. But version 2 will sit a little higher, I scrape curbs.
