Congratulations! Nice setup too! That Thor seat mount detail would also be appreciated.

Wow! extremely radical MBB build! Not too far from Marco's Rev HTH v2 build but Marco's weighs only about 10Kg(22 pounds)

Nicely executed !

... plus you can always double wrap the handlebar for thicker more comfortable grip.

Yeah! ..now that's what I'am talkin' about! Love it ! Me want this! haha!

Thanks for the encouragement.

Beautiful country, nice roads! Great ride!

Somewhere in Kenya.. not a real cruzbike but close enough:

Nice report! Please throw in some pictures of your bike as used on this ride.

A cost effective carbon MBB is best built from cutting up a damaged or secondhand Carbon road bike/DF frame and bonding the pieces together with carbon. This is well documented by Marco Ruga in Italy: https://biciclettereclinate.blogspot.com/2017/10/come-ti-costruisco-una-reclinata-da-una.html

The seat angle looks like an S30:), I like it! What is the final seat recline angle, I wonder?

Thanks! Glad to create some inspiration! Hopefully one day, by some miracle, I can afford ultra lite S40 frame to replace my steel DIY one:)

The fish-eye camera lens does exergerate the proximity. In reality , it was not that bad.

Yeah, but some of the stronger riders were missing on this ride. I do, however, feel pretty strong when Iam on my recumbent, except for steep climbs. Anything from 2% grade or more and the other riders have an advantage. But, I believe the main drawback is the weight. My recumbent is a little...

Another weekend group ride video in Nairobi. Hope you enjoy it:

Must be an interesting build. Any photos?

I think the forum has an issue. Try this facebook link: https://scontent.fnbo2-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/43491416_1917997938509721_743942396420554752_n.jpg?_nc_cat=109&_nc_ht=scontent.fnbo2-1.fna&oh=9d08f20ad5ef094929b1fa6248f34ad2&oe=5CB34B1F And a youtube video

Creative thinking!

Why not keep the 50-34 crankset and use an 11-36 cassette at the back. 34x36 is plenty low.

Normally you want a balance between aero and weight to allow them to spin up quickly. If I could afford it I would go for 50mm at the front and 60mm depth at the back.
