Yes, it's a recumbent built by me. And yes, back problems. The C5 made me escape the knife of a surgeon, and still does.
I found out this type of bikes, and after having a try on a recumbent trike i made last month, i went to a 2 wheel one. Very comfy, nothing like a traditional bicycle (the office chair seat helps) . The big test is today on the Expo 98 compound, will let you know later.
The steering isn't on the wrong side, i just mirrored the image!
A CX would probably be a better choice if i wish to have company on the car:P
Cheers chaps

I decided to use wood due to it being extremely rare in bicycles (check the web for wooden recumbents ), and for aesthetics. You gotta admit the combination of black metal with dark coloured wood is great

Hehe!
And this afternoon i made a modification so it has even more power at the wheel: moved the seat 5cms forward and as such my legs are almost stretched, and not fully stretched as before and reinforced the seat back with better triangulation. I can now climb steeper inclines with it, as i can put more power on my legs! Think of it like adding a turbo to a 1.9D :D
