Hi all.

My wife and I have been considering switching to a recumbent and
have been researching our options for a while now. Since we can't
afford to spend the large amounts of money to purchase a new,
manufactured 'bent, we are considering trying to build our own. In
our research, we came across the web page for Bentech and are
excited about the possibilities presented by Bentech and are
considering building from their plans and supplies. Our main concern
is that we don't know how to weld and don't have access to a drill
press and it seems that those are necessary to build a Bentech bike.
If anyone has any advice on what we can do that will make this
process not only easier but enjoyable, we would really appreciate
it.

By the way, we live in Mesa, Az, so if anyone from the Phoenix area
can help us out, that would be great too.

Thanks in advance!!!

Rob

Hi All, You were surprised Dom. I'd expected to be here alone or at best with 2 or 3 others but never 54 members. (Just goes to show that there are at least 54...

Art, Try using silver solder for your cable stops. Lower melting temp than Brazing so less heat needed. Mine have been on for a over year and no problem. As...
