It sounds like a problem on the other end, but since you didn't include the link in your e-mail, I can't go test it to see if I can get to it... (the original...

Hi, I have purchased the Bentech plans and a full supply of 4130 chromoly tubing to build a bentech. I got the tubing from an aircraft parts supplier in the...
My Bentech has the standard mesh seat. It's really comfortable, so I've been using it to get to work and back a lot lately. The only thing is - my backside...
How about adding a layer of foam, like the ones WalMart sells for under sleeping bags? A cloth cover would help hold it in place. Take it off when it gets...
I've done that also. If you look in the photo album 'cool seat' my V-rex clone was made that way. Just look for a bike with a downtube of the dia you need. I...
Hi Guys, Just wanted to mention that we will be dropping the http://members.aol.com/domerie/bentech.htm site in the near future. Our main url will be...
I commute to work every day for a total of 35 miles. I am looking for a fast bent bike. The SWB bike looks to be fast. So I would like to know what every one...
I suggest you test ride an Easy Racers Tour Easy or Gold Rush before you make your final decision. You can add fairings to make them faster. LWB designs can be...

Thanks guys, This is the info I was looking for. Phil, I average a Roll Time speed od 15.95 on my commute. I hit speeds of 14 to 23 mph through out my commute....

On my 20 mile training ride I average 17 mph. This is on a course that includes 5 - 7 stops at lights and intersections on about half of the ride. I normally...

Hi, It is all flat where I am. I rode 3012 miles last year on my upright and with the wind on my back I would get between 15 and 18 mph. My top speed was 24.7...
I am really curious about wheel sizing. I have been riding a 700c wheel on my upright frame for a few years and have not seen any used on the Recumbents. I...
I ride a SWB EZ Speedster with a 20" front and a 26 x 1.5 rear. However, I recently swapped the rear out with a 700 rim using a 700 x 25 tire @ 100psi. I was...
I think that there have been recumbents built with every wheel size and combination available. As far as I can see, the main considerations with wheel size and...
This makes sense. Thanks for the response. I am still leaning towards the 700 wheels, only because I have them. I got rid of my 650's a while back. Has anyone...
