My Very First Recumbent is a V20

I took 3 different pics but with the 10 second timer I wasn't really able to get as good a pic as I wanted. Here is the best of the 3. My knee is a tad higher than in the pic.

I was hoping to see where the end of you boom was at your handlebar connection. Ideally a short video of you from the side pedaling circles (without your chain on) is the best. To me your knees could be lower. I would try a shorter chainstay to drop your knees, got 145 cranks so you feet don't go as low or as high. You also might then benefit from a curved slider because a shorter chainstay will till your handlebars up a bit. If you have the time and money to experiment with what I have mentioned above I think you could drastically reduce your aerodynamic drag.

I'll try and get a video from the side Larry, probably while the bike is on the trainer.

I finally not only passed my road bike FTP of 247 watts with 255 watts on my V20, but also for the first time put out over 250 watts. Strava says 255 is my 2nd best effort, but I don't ever remember putting out over 250 watts on any bike. If Strava guestimated over 250 watts on my road bike then it doesn't really count.
