    since you have small wheels, why didnt you fit stabilisers so you didnt fall off so much :D

    stabilers are more of a problem than a solution. You need to lean into the turn. Keeping the bike straight up makes you go only straight forward. The difference between leaning into a turn and falling of the bike is really not that much. Like I said in the video … it is difficult to ride this bike.

    Whahaaaa! It did cost me NOTHING. Oeps! I lie! I bought the seat second hand for about 40 euros. Changes are coming. Some guys are really thinking about making recumbent bikes cheaper. But remember …the market is rather small, so numbers of production are small. and that gets the price rather high. Sad, but true.

    Wow thats love. I think the problem is the steering angle, definately. But I see how dedicated you are to building a bike, even using junk bikes for practice.

    did u use the same yellow forks for the front where u welded them at an angle? where u bolted on the chain and crank setup?

    It was indeed a yellow front fork which I used to cut up and weld together. But I placed a smaller wheel in it. I am sure the original fork was designed for a much larger wheel.Do NOT forget to reinforce the fork at the weld with a triangle!It was a bit tricky to line all parts so the wheel would not be angled when installed. But … if I can do it, you can do it too. ;^)
