I'm not a home builder, but if I ever get round to it this book is full of what seems to be useful, practical advice on turning junk frames into interesting bikes - several of the designs in it are for recumbents.

Is the boom for the new bottom bracket going to be longer? - Think it may need to be.
As far as manipulating the chain goes, you will need a pulley to direct the top (drive) run of the chain through the rear triangle. If the pulley is mounted on one side only then you need to use an 8mm or 10mm bolt, as its under quite alot of load. Does anyone know a cheap source of a suitable pulley? I've got one you can have, but it's soft plastic, so won't last that long. Gimme your address (PM) and I'll post it to you. Or you could put an intermediate drive in the old bottom bracket, with a double chainset (saw cranks off)? The lower, return chain run could just be supported by an old rear derailleur pulley, to clear the front wheel. Edited by GeoffBird - 05 April 2011 at 12:00am |
