I dunno. I'll try to remember to look for it after the thaw.

A few pics of the beast a year later. Still going strong.

Sorry, it's long gone.

Someone has spoken for the orphaned frame part. Thanks for playing.

Free, zero, nada, nill, zilch --- you pay the actual freight to your location.

It is a standard QR front @ 100mm.

You must take the entire enchilada. First come... I'll package it for free, you pay shipping.

As much as I would prefer to rag Henry - I must praise his effort to organize this event. Lots of fun. BTW it's Recumbents Across Texas - not, definitely NOT, Race Across Texas.

Last upgrade for today. A worn out seat pad from a RANS sling mesh seat. An old piece of carbon for this purpose, originally on a Bacchetta seat. I know I should throw stuff away, until days like this... BTW without taking it apart to find out on my own, can someone tell me if the...
