This frame was damaged, I don’t know if I would sacrifice an undamaged one, makes for a very stiff bike though, being carbon it still soaks up the bumps, probably not as much as my last bike, the upside is that the power seems really direct, no give at all.
I live on a hilly island Tasmania , so bike is set up for climbing, lower BB and fairly upright seat.
Waiting on some plugs for orig BB hole from China.
I guess one other consideration with these type of frames is fitting, I’m short 5’5” , this is a large frame, so without messing with the rear end length, you would end up with a low BB if you needed to stretch out the front .
Just remembered Cruzbike offer different length chain stay options .

That's impressive!
I can just see you encountering a group of road bikes, and one of the riders turning to the guy behind him, "I didn't know Cervélo made recumbents?"

I agree. Mine is rougher than yours and mine was made in a factory.Bentas said:
This is a revival of the old conversion-kit idea. I also would like to see how you got the drive wheel on.
