This was the last one I did. After wearing me out at a few bike parties, I got rid of it. The angles werent right. The easy racer is a different story. Its designed for your hands to be up. I barely rode this one but have another version and a 40-50 mile ride is no problem.

I have several recumbents. Im used to the leg power. Using a recumbent frame is going to work out a lot better with the crank way forward instead of underneath like the last few Ive done

Im going to be looking for a light and bright green to set off the whitewalls seat and other white parts

Im a big fan of all this George Barris and Ed Roth

The new seat came today. I cut the rails off and mounted it to my bracket and hated it. So I reused the original base and the backrest. I put it where it was and the backrest all the way down. This gives me the back support I need. I also played with the rack a little. Going to rework it...

The color combo and cool factor Im going to try to represent. I loved the custom cars of this period

Also ordered another part tonight that Ive wanted to put on a bike for a long time. This is the first build Ive done in years that Can use one. The Pie Plate. Did a screen shot but it shows too big to load. Have to wait for it to show up

I found and ordered some affordable chrome wheels tonight. I have a small budget for this build so the lowrider chrome wheels are out and so is the powder coating. Looks like its gonna be a rustoleum paint job. Im good with that since its gonna be a beach cruiser and not a show piece

After much research, I ordered this seat. I need back support on this bike and when it comes, I will experiment with recovering it and repainting the framework. It will also allow a cleaner look on the back of the bike without the original seat frame tubes I have a nice chrome rack I want to...

I found a different tube for the back wheel for now and I was able to put it on the ground. I put it next to my smaller Easy Racer EZ-1 for comparison. This ez sport uses a 20 inch front and 26 in the rear, while the EZ-1 uses a 16 in the front and 20 in the rear but bikes are basically the...

Im trying to figure out what to do with the seat still since there is no seat post. Either recovering this or making some kind of adapter for a banana seat. However it needs to have a back to push against. The geometry is all leg power with these. I have several ideas Im looking deeper into

This is pretty much where the seat was when I rode it around the block. I just set on the seat and grips I had to get an idea with color and its a no go. Im a little nervous about cutting the fabric off the frame because its the only seat I have to fit this bike at the moment. Seat and grips...

Im working on a long owed favor from someone who does upholstery. I have to see whats available to me

I cant believe I hit the age to think about Rat Rodding a recumbent, but I have. I did a little shopping today. I found the stem in my stash, bought new 25 inch apes and new whitewall tires. I was hoping to go fatter but it turns out that the 26 by 2.125 is the biggest that will fit. 2.4...

My inspiration and plan for it come from this picture. This belongs to a local guy that builds a lot of crazy rides. Im going for a cross between an adult muscle bike and a T Bucket. Longest apes possible on a short stem, and im limited for choices of forks with the long head tube. Im going...

This is it at the moment. I plan to use the original Frame, fork, headset, seat bottom but redoing the back, and thats about it.

This is how I got it and put it together. It rode but not well. Needed cables, chain, brakepads and more

Greetings, I had to make a frame change since I gave my first bike away and Im going to use this recumbent frame. It is an Easy Racer EZ Sport that I acquired a while ago. It had been left out in the rain for many years and restoring it to original condition would have cost too much. So it...

Radius wise from the center of the axle I have 13 1/2 inches of clearance. I will play it safe and go with a standard cruiser tire. Thanks

Greetings all, I have a different idea for the build off and want to use the biggest rear tire I can fit. Im going to use a 7 speed rear mtn bike wheel that is 1 inch wide. I have 3 1/4 inches of width available but only 2 1/4 height available from the top of the rim to the frame. Does a 26...
