This is Forrest Ohnesorge's fourth home built recumbent-- a Tour Easy replica made from a Schwinn World Sport road bike and some Cro-Mo from the local Metal by the Foot dealer. Total time building ran about 3 months of spare time and total investment including $5.00 for the World Sport was around $100.00. Unique features include plastic water pipe chain tubes, a section of 1" square tubing on the top tube for easy seat attachment, and a home built swing-forward handlebar riser. Total weight is about 35 lbs. Forrest lives in Kansas City, Missouri. |

Amazingly this trike and two other recumbents were built with a total combined cost of $300. For detailed views of this one, and the other bikes he's built, check out Paul Walters' Page |
This is Paul's latest trike. It's got front and rear suspension and electric assist. |
