Title: Building a Winterbike.
Post by MrOverdressed on Sep 19^th, 2010, 5:45pm

I would like to build a dual 26' bike like this homemade bike:

Using ideas from http://www.recycledrecumbent.com

Tom do you do your own welding?

I guess I am the Tom you are asking about. I have done all of the brazing on the first bike I built with a Propane Oxygen torch and I have ridden it several thousand miles with no problems. The second bike I welded with a MIG electric welder. I am waiting for cooler weather to make a few changes on thelast bike, and I have gathered material for another long wheel base dual 26" wheel bike.
