My favorite BENT picture website
belongs to some fellow who has pictues
of Joe Kochanowski's Homebuilt Bents
Here is a picture of Joe on his MOBY BENt.
https://tinyurl.com/df7b8
And here is the homepage for all his bicycle
stuff. His WORKSHOP is something to see
in and of itself.
https://www.outsideconnection.com/gallant/hpv/joe/
For a real kick, watch Joe's movie of knocking over
a series of trash cans with his giant bent.
I heard Joe had an accident in traffic on his MOBY
about a year ago but last I heard he had recovered ok.
This guy is a real inspiration to me in that he makes
all his own bikes and I couldn't make one if I tried, honestly!

My most recent acquisition, and the reason I can't wait for the doc to fix my knee.

Here's my Evox 140 with modifications. I replaced the seat, crankset and removed the leg guard. Sweet running CLWB.

Here is a pic of my newly completed FWD Cruzbike. Ride is sweet and a LOT of fun! Gets the "double take look" often, especially when people realize what wheel the chain is driving.
Sorry for the PQ, I need to get a host or something...

Hi all. Im new here. Lots of interesting trikes to look at .
Heres my home-built called "Wheelchair". Its aluminium tube, bar the rear drop-out which is off a steel BMX frame, joined together with kevlar and carbon-fibre. 20" wheels, oldschool 105 rear hub and disc brake front hubs minus the discs. Steering is push pull steering, tie rod at the front, seat is aluminium sheet (1.6mm). Im running a single chainring (52t) and 13-23 cluster. This thing is my trainer and i ride it an hour a night. Due to the crap gearing, top speed is limited to 40km/h Dought i hav the brakes to risk going any faster anyway
In the jig, cross-member, boomtube n spine

A kingpin
https://img376.imageshack.us/img376/9866/p10101686km.jpg
A seat, which is also steel (19mm daimeter)
https://img376.imageshack.us/img376/1633/p10100728ht.jpg
Wheelchair with its shoes on
https://img421.imageshack.us/img421/9797/p31000469gh.jpg
Completed Product
Myself standing next to it. I think it sits quite low considering its ground clearence (70mm front, 110+ rear)
Oh and heres the last trike i raced in, called T-Bone. Ive done 4 24hr races since 2002 with general success.
And finally, the 1st trike i made called "Mullet" . It was totally impractical and fell apart once a month...i guess bronze-welding will do that though . It was a demon steerer though
Hope youse like em

This picture was posted by spuds on the first page of this thread.
OMG. That is me in the front on this picture, I am not joking. What a coincidence. I know that bike is really bad. I can tell you the background on it. Over here in south Australia we have a race called the Australian International Pedal Prix. In 1999 I raced that bike in a team of 11 for 24 hours. I was in year 8. I actually helped build it. My tech teacher designed it. Dont get me wrong, I know its not a good bike, we came second to last out of 128 teams. I cant believe I found a picture of myself just clicking around on the internet.
This is the trike that I designed, built and raced with a team of 7 for our 2005 race last year. We finished 5 out of about 130 in a 6 hour event. We built this trike on a $500 Australian budget, very very cheap trike. Max speed of around 60km\h, cruise 45-50 Km\h.

@JWSJSS.
Hey there . U aint racing Murry Bridge this year in September are u? Im in a team right now and we're building from scratch as we speak. If u are going, look out for the "Vector" style canopy
Your "Team Bluebird" trike, it looks very Bendigo Youth Racing (BYR). Nose cone shape, outer rollbar and pumped-out fenders etc. Do u know of BYR? Did u race em in 03-04? I love those guys...Bendigo recumbent community's home town heros
