Here is a current picture of my high wheel recumbent build. I will be removing the front tire and handlebars to convert it into a low racer by adding a 20 inch front wheel and suspension fork. I will upload more pictures as soon as I can get the work done. I will also be changing out to some smoother running tires, hopefully with higher pressures than the 65 psi tires I am using now.<br />
<br />
Even as it stands, it is much easier to ride and pedal than a normal bike of any configuration. With a small pad on the solid metal seat I have now, I have no doubts that I could ride for a very long time with no aches or pains. It is also easier to run at faster speeds than ever in the past. I can even run faster on this bike than on my 700c road bike. I may even make a front and rear fairing at some point. Should be a screamer.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4358983574860420003-8926107032012066829?l=lattimercyclecompany.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/RdVFm/~4/D9kRCLAdhM0" height="1" width="1"/>jason1973tlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17329580143310746519noreply@blogger.com0http://lattimercyclecompany.blogspot.com/2011/12/here-is-current-picture-of-my-high.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4358983574860420003.post-73518534914412665432011-12-11T18:22:00.001-08:002011-12-11T18:34:00.528-08:002011-12-11T18:34:00.528-08:00Lets get started building the future.<div style="text-align: left;">
Hello and welcome. This will be my first post on the Custom built velomobile blog brought to you by the Lattimer Cycle Company. First off let me tell you I have always been interested in bicycles since I was a kid. At the age of 12 or so I put an automatic transmission on my 10 speed road bike.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Fast forward to today. I am 38 years old and am tired of working for somebody else. I have a wonderful wife who supports me in what I want to achieve. I now have a space to work on some of the special build projects that I always wanted to. I have finished a recumbent hi wheeled 26 inch bike built from parts of bikes I pulled from the trash.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I am now in the final stages of development on a recumbent trike with an extra long wheelbase to which I will build a fully enclosed body. I intend to have some sort of canopy that will slide open and closed as necessary for ventilation. I will try to keep posts and pictures updated as soon as I can upload.</div>
