My grandson Johnathan and I built this bike from his old mountain bike. Tires are 20", full if not weak suspension works suprisingly well. The seat is a Challange seat purchased at a bike shop. Every thing is brazed together. Paint was powder coated at a shop. Fun to ride and not too difficult. Faster than my mountain bike but that is not a surprise. Better on hills than I expected after everything I read on-line about hill climbing on a recumbent. Scary fast down hills! Barrie Ontario, Canada |
