The color is John Deere Yellow for two reasons. I like John Deere Equipment. I am color blind and yellow does not blend into other colors as bad as reds, greens and browns. The rear end is from from donor front fork cut at the center joint and welded to the frame. The angles stays are from the top part rear stays of a DF bike.. The bottom bracket came fromPower On cycles, The head tube is a donor item. The seat design can be found at Andrew Carson's Recycled Recumbents free down Load. I is a lot of work to cover. The frame is very easy to make. I have not hade the bike on the road yet. I am adjusting it on the Cyclops Wind Trainer. I am trying to give this knee more time to heel before I tear it up again. I have completed the rehab on the knee. The chain may be a problem since I had a gift certificate at Bike Nashbar and I purchased 2 so called 9 speed recumbent chain which it took almost 1 and 1/2 chains to make it work. I am going to meassure the size against the Scram 971 chain I have on the other bikes. This chain looks larger and seems to be stiffer than the 971 chains. Happy New Year Tom T
