Dave Burchell's Homebuilt Dual-Steering, Short-Wheelbase Recumbent - 3/2008
Dave originally built this bike as an Under-Seat Steering recumbent but had some handling problems. The solution: Add Above-Seat Steering. These photos were taken before Dave finished painting the bike and here are his comments regarding the steering upgrade:
"Over the moon. Have solved ride ability of
bike by fitting over steering .
and rode it on first attempt. I will now fit second brake to rear next
to
bottom bracket (shorter cable run to upper steering ) but will also
leave
under steer in place using upper rear brake.
Will this be the first dual steer recumbent ?
All I have to do now is strip down and paint"
It took me a while to get this posted so I suspect that by now Dave has id finished and has had a chance to ride it a bit. (ss 9/08)
