[hpv] Plans

[Geoff_...@mhs21.tns.co.za]

Sorry if this has been asked before, I am new here.

I tried a couple of sites and a search through Yahoo but did not come up
with anything that I really like. Could your collective wisdom please give
me some URL's that I could browse for plans for building a recombent.

Also could you give advice on the following. I read a FAQ but am still
unsure of the benefits of below seat steering vs above seat steering. LWB
vs SWB seems a little easier for my brain to get the benefits of each.

If you are interested, I don't own a recumbant and have never ridden one
but the idea facinates me. Especially after lurking here for a little while
and reading the ride reports.

Thankyou

Hello, Jeff..

South Africa isn't exactly a hotbed of recumbent owners, builders,
designers, etc., but the HPVA does have one member there: John
Stegmann, who may be able to help you as well. He has moved (or is
moving) to Plett. Try
<mailto:recu...@cybertrade.co.za>recu...@cybertrade.co.za.

You don't say where you are, but John can probably give you some pointers.
