		"Here is my attempt at a home built recumbent. I have about $28.oo in 
		the whole project. Started with a 27" women's 10 speed and added the 16" 
		front and a crank set from an old 20". My "lunch room" chair works quite 
		well. I cut off the old cranks and added some spacer washers between the 
		two large sprockets so I could fit on two chains. The CG is a bit high 
		but I got used to it. It gets lots of looks when I am out and about. I 
		think I am the only recumbent in my town."
