Subject: atomBOLT FWD Recumbent High Racer Design
Here is a new design I have been working on for about a 1/2 year now. I
call it the atomBOLT. The atomBOLT is a no-weld recumbent high racer
style bike, that uses MBB (moving bottom bracket) FWD. Goals were low
cost, no weld, easy to build. The design achieves those goals. If you
are looking for an inexpensive, easy to build recumbent bike project
for this winter, this is it!

Whoops, just realized I'm conflating you with Atomic Zombie. Sorry.
I'm sure if you wrote a book I'd enjoy it, though.

Hey, very nice. I just got your book from Amazon, I've enjoyed it. I
have a Corsa, but my wife wants a LWB, we may want a tandem, I want a
lowracer... And I like to build stuff.

Didn't I see somewhere that you had a proa, once upon a time? I've
been a proa sailor for a while now. Need to get that new set of beams
finished and get on the water again.
