Hi All,
Just courious, has anyone in this group "scratch built" a Bentech? I
have yet to ride a 'bent, but they look too cool to pass up! I've been
collecting parts and want to build a 'bent trike, but thought I tackle
a two wheeler first.
The Bentech design looks pretty solid, any comments on any percieved
weaknesses? (I'm 6'4 - 233#, so strength is a concern.. : )
Thanks,
Ed R.

... One thing I learned, the hard way of course, was to buy a decent quality hole saw like Lenox and it must be run very slowly. I believe the instructions say...
