    Starting to assemble my Franken-T

    Very nice! Just remember to cover and seal the top opening of that 1.5 inch pipe/boom/steerer. Otherwise water will get to the bottom bracket and cause wear. Is that a 50T narrow-wide chainring? I wonder how much the bike weighs as shown.

    Starting to assemble my Franken-T

    This is really an excellent way to build a cheaper alternative to an S40. Just 700c wheelset, then add nice flared road drop bars, position the seat at between 35 and 40 degrees and voila ! The wheelbase is a little short (109cm T50 vs 114cm S40) but you can get used to it. A more rigid ribbed...

    Beautiful bike! That doesn't look like a Thor seat though. How much does she weigh?

    Recumbent-DF transformer

    I agree to a large extent with @RojoRacing here. Unless off course, the recumbent position is really extreme and the grade really steep +15% (or steeper) which would then put the rider in a disoriented position, the weight and stiffness on the drive train is what matters. Hypothetically...
